RICHMOND, Va. (PRWEB) January 18, 2023
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 and Advertisers from the community providing Haystack-compatible products and solutions around the world.
Connections Magazine published bi-annually, documents how the Project Haystack community is applying or implementing the Haystack 4 Tagging methodology in the building and facilities management industry. Facility owners, operators, managers, system integrators, and service companies recognize that making data self-describing with a standardized approach to semantic data modeling is key to overcoming the hurdles related to effectively using the data produced by the built environment.
In addition, the Spring issue will provide a look into the upcoming seventh Haystack Connect Conference (https://www.haystackconnect.org), to be held in Nashville, Tennessee, June 5 - 7, 2023. Haystack Connect is a unique, open-forum event where the Haystack community and anyone interested in making data interoperable convene to learn and share the latest technologies and techniques for connecting systems and utilizing the ever-increasing amount of device data in applications including intelligent buildings, energy management, remote monitoring, and other IoT devices and applications.
“For 12 years now, the members of Project Haystack have been developing the widely accepted standard for semantic modeling methodology and building our tagging libraries for more and more applications,” said Marc Petock, Executive Secretary of the Project Haystack Organization. “Since our organization’s formation in March 2011, Project Haystack has played the leading role in making device data interoperable, providing the industry with a standard metadata model, tools, reference implementations and educational materials, all developed by a true open-source community.”
Articles in past issues of Connections Magazine are submitted by end users, design consultants, commissioning experts, system integrators, 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.
Connections Magazine is also a valuable advertising vehicle for companies looking to reach the growing, world-wide Project Haystack community and the smart building ecosystem.
