RICHMOND, Va. (PRWEB) October 19, 2020
The Project Haystack Organization (https://www.project-haystack.org), a collaborative community addressing the challenge of utilizing semantic modeling and tagging to streamline the interchange of data among different systems, devices, equipment and software applications, today announced the next issue of the Project Haystack Connections Magazine is in development and is issuing a Call for Contributed Articles.
The Connections Magazine, published bi-annually, reports on the latest news by the Project Haystack community from around the world and documents how they are applying or implementing the Haystack Tagging methodology in the building and facilities management industry. Facility owners, operators, managers and service companies recognize that a standardized approach to semantic data modeling is key to overcoming the hurdles related to effectively using the data produced by the built environment. The next issue promises to once again feature companies that are responding by providing Haystack-compatible products and solutions.
“Over the past 9 years, Project Haystack has continued developing the widely accepted standard for semantic modeling methodology and building our tagging libraries for more and more applications,” said John Petze, Executive Director of the Project Haystack Organization. “This community-driven, open-source process is engaging companies that work on different facets of specifying and implementation.”
Articles in past issues of Connections Magazine have been submitted by end users, including design consultants, commissioning experts, smart building consultants, property managers and developers – all of whom are meeting the demand for smarter, interoperable solutions. Project Haystack Working Groups provide updates to their work and as always, there will be sections dedicated to Tools for Developers and Integrators, How to Get Involved, a curation of social media about Project Haystack Member Projects, Practices and Products, and a directory of all Project Haystack Members.
The Connections Magazine also provides a valuable Advertising opportunity for companies that are providing Haystack-compatible products and solutions to reach the world-wide, ever-growing Project Haystack community.
The Project Haystack Organization consists of Founding Member and Board Member companies Conserve It, J2 Innovations, Legrand, Lynxspring, Siemens and SkyFoundry, and Associate Member companies Accu-Temp Systems, Altura Associates, BASSG, Bueno Systems, Brainbox AI, BuildingFit, CABA, e-Magic, Energy Management Association, Intellastar, Intelligent Buildings, IoT Warez, KMC Controls, KNX Association, Kodaro, KODE Labs, Resolute Building Intelligence, Tridium, WideSky and Yorkland Controls, as well as numerous Haystack supporters involved in the Project Haystack Forums and Working Groups.
The Call for Contributed Articles is now open and abstracts can be submitted at: https://marketing.project-haystack.org/abstract-submission-form by October 26th.
