LAS VEGAS, NEVADA JUNE 16, 2014- Project-Haystack, an open source
initiative focused on developing semantic modeling conventions and
taxonomies for smart device data today announced the formation of a
501-C Corporation. The announcement was made at iBCON an event and
conference focused on open architected, interoperable and integrated IP
centric smart, connected, high performance, intelligent buildings.
Project-Haystack won the Digie award for Best Intelligent Building
Technology Innovation at iBCON in 2013.
The launch of the 501-C Corp has been made possible by the support of
six founding member companies: Airmaster www.airmaster.com.au/, J2
Innovations www.j2inn.com, Lynxspring www.lynxspring.com, Siemens
www.siemens.com, SkyFoundry www.skyfoundry.com, Wattstopper,
www.wattstopper.com and Yardi www.yardi.com.
Background on Project-Haystack. Modern automations systems, metering
systems and other smart devices produce tremendous amount of data, but
this data is hard to utilize across different applications because it
is stored in many different formats, has inconsistent naming
conventions, and very limited data descriptors. Simply put, it lacks
information to describe the meaning of the data.
Project-Haystack helps address these challenges. The work developed by
the Project-Haystack community streamlines the process of managing,
presenting and analyzing the vast amount of data produced by smart
devices and equipment systems. Project-Haystack data modeling
techniques can be used with virtually any type of system data. The
community’s work not tied to any vendor, or communication protocol.

Since its formation in March of 2011, Project-Haystack.org has grown
tremendously providing the industry with an open-source, collaborative
environment where people work together to address the challenge of
utilizing semantic modeling (also known as tagging) to streamline the
interchange of data among software applications. The community has
developed a flexible, extensible, data modeling approach and standard
models for common equipment systems. The standard includes detailed
documentation describing the data modeling techniques, significant
libraries of equipment models, and software reference implementations
to easily enable software applications to consume smart device data
that is "marked up" with Project-Haystack data descriptions.
The formation of a 501-C Corp will help the organization expand the
reach of Project-Haystack and support promotional activities and
services to members and contributors to the effort. The founding
members have designated representatives to form the initial Board of
Directors. Additional membership levels are available.
