The name may sound abstract, but data ontologies have a very practical role to play in making our buildings work better. Whether it’s Brick, Haystack, VBIS, or something else, their purpose is essentially the same: to help us organise data from the built environment. In this episode of AIRAH on Air, host Mark Vender talks to four members of AIRAH’s Big Data and Analytics Special Technical Group about data ontologies, the issues we face when people use different systems for managing their data, and how we can overcome these challenges. Guests:• Tristan Webber, Affil.AIRAH • Nicholas Lianos, Affil.AIRAH • Sylvia Quaglia • Daniel Porragas, Affil.AIRAH For more information on AIRAH’s Big Data and Analytics Forum, go to airah.org.au/bigdata You can also learn about AIRAH’s Big Data and Analytics Special Technical Group.
