What is Haystack?

Project-Haystack is an open source initiative to streamline working with data from the Internet of Things.

Today’s systems, equipment, smart devices and IoT applications are generating tremendous amounts of data. However, the data can be very hard to organize, integrate and use across different applications for a number of reasons including inconsistent naming conventions and different terminologies, the many different formats and the limited data descriptors. In essence, it lacks information to describe the meaning of the data, and without meaning, a time-consuming manual effort is required before value creation can begin.

Project-Haystack is an open source collaborative initiative that is making it easier to unlock value from the vast quantity of data being generated by smart devices, smart equipment and smart systems with a simple, flexible meta data tagging methodology. The work developed by the Project-Haystack community provides an easy to use approach to describe the meaning of device data, consensus approved taxonomies and tagging conventions and open source implementations to streamline adoption in enterprise applications and devices.

Founded in 2011, Project-Haystack has achieved widespread adoption. The organization  is pleased to announce the inaugural issue of Project-Haystack Connections, an E-Zine presenting information, case studies and articles on the use of Haystack tagging.

Our March theme for AutomatedBuildings.com is "Project-Haystack Open for Mashing" and provides connection to Project-Haystack's new E-zine "Connections".  Haystack is an open source initiative to streamline working with data from the Internet of Things and is evolving as a preferred mash up tool for our industry.

CABA White Paper   Project-Haystack

The role of Project-Haystack is to bring together a community of industry constituents in a collaborative effort to develop a standardized approach to representing and using metadata across a wide range of applications. Project-Haystack standardizes semantic data models and Web services to access and communicate those models, with the goal of making it easier to unlock value from the vast quantity of data being generated by the smart devices and equipment systems that permeate our homes, buildings, factories, and cities. Applications include automation, control, energy, HVAC, lighting, and other environmental systems.
