The Project Haystack organizations is pleased to announce the publication of the Spring 2021 Connections Magazine! This ninth issue commemorates the 10th Anniversary of Project Haystack, founded in 2011, and the commitment of the community to perfect data tagging and further solidify the value brought by the Project Haystack open-source methodology of semantic tagging for the built environment and beyond.

Today, we are also proud to announce four new Associate Member companies have joined the organization just in the past month: Allander Analytics, Automated Logic, Buildings IOT and Clockworks Analytics.

The member companies and supporters of Project Haystack continue expanding the standards for semantic modeling methodology and building on the tagging libraries for more and more applications. This community-driven, open-source process is engaging more and more companies that work on different facets of specifying and implementation.

John Petze has been a pillar in our industry for a long time. In this week's episode, we discuss the topic of data and metadata and explore the emergence, growth, and adoption of Haystack as a semantic model throughout our industry.

Haystack Connect FREE Online Conference

Project Haystack 

The video of this Memoori webinar is now available online.

Memoori Research presented the 3rd FREE Webinar in its 2021 Smart Building Series.

Held Thursday 1st April 1700 CET | 1100 EDT

A FREE Webinar with John Petze & Marc Petock from the Project Haystack Organization discussing 10 Years of Bringing Data Semantics to the Built Environment.

What We Discussed

As in past years, presentations will focus on real-world challenges in integrating diverse systems and data, and are delivered by individuals leading the effort to streamline data interchange through the use of Project Haystack technology.

Haystack Connect is known for the quality of its technical program, which is driven by the Project Haystack community. With the decision to hold the conference virtually, maintaining the same high-quality technical program has been a paramount consideration during all phases of planning for the event.

As in past years, presentations will focus on real-world challenges in integrating diverse systems and data, and are delivered by individuals leading the effort to streamline data interchange through the use of Project Haystack technology. Providing educational value is the primary goal of all presentations.

The program is divided into three tracks. Track 1, Haystack in Practice, explores real world applications of Haystack tagging. Track 2 is the technical track. This year, the technical track will include several sessions on Haystack 4. Track 3 is the ever popular “Pitchfest”—a fast-paced look at new products and services utilizing Haystack technology (think ‘Shark Tank’ for Haystack).

We are excited to announce the availability of the Haystack Data Modeling Guide Specification in Japanese.

This new document was the result of work by Project-Haystack.org members in Japan and further demonstrates the growing international support for project Haystack as the semantic modeling language for device data.

Our sincere thanks to the community members that produced this new resource.
