Haystack

Project Haystack is an open metadata model and tagging convention for semantically describing building and IoT data. It standardizes semantic tags and vocabularies to simplify integration, discovery and analytics across heterogeneous systems. The specification is supported by community libraries, converters and documentation, and is widely used in building a

Additional classification

This classification shows where the building block typically matters, how demanding it is, and what kind of impact it has in the model.

Organizational level
Domain

The level within the organization (enterprise, domain, team) at which the AssetBlock is applied.

Organizational maturity
Intermediate

Organizational maturity indicates at which level (enterprise, domain, team) the AssetBlock can be applied most effectively.

Impact area
Technical

The impact area indicates which domains (technical, business, organizational) are affected by introducing and using the AssetBlock.

Decision type
Technical

Decision type describes which kinds of decisions (design, architectural, organizational, technical) are affected by applying the AssetBlock.

Value stream stage
Build

The phase in the value stream (discovery, build, run, iterate) in which the AssetBlock is primarily used.

Complexity
Medium

Complexity describes the level of difficulty in implementing and using the AssetBlock. It considers factors such as the number of involved components, their interactions, and required skills.

Maturity
Established

Maturity describes how established, stable, and practice-proven an AssetBlock is in real-world usage. It considers market adoption, experience, and available best practices.

Cognitive load
Medium

Cognitive load indicates how much mental effort and knowledge is required to effectively understand and apply the AssetBlock. It considers conceptual complexity, required expertise depth, and learning curve.
