Description
"We can’t try to bring them all [ontologies] together. We can’t make them all one. What we need to do is really focus on delivering the outcomes and delivering the use cases, and then have data engineers worry about how to normalize that data. Because at the end of the day, the ontology doesn't deliver any outcome. It only enables, right? It's not an outcome.”–Brian Turner My HighlightsNew year, new favorite question (5:17)Digging into Buildings IOT’s offerings: the ontology alignment project (OAP), JetStream, onPoint (8:41)What the domain-specific API is missing (19:21)How to ensure the independent data layer accommodates the client’s use cases (21:24)The need and (lack of?) demand for supervisory control, and the problems with reinventing the wheel for fairly consistent use cases (24:20)Brian’s perspective on the state of the industry as it relates to data modeling: the Ontology Wars (32:59)The concept of the ‘decoder ring,’ and the challenges of industry-wide collaboration (35:59)Deep dive into what an master systems integrator (MSI) is/does, and the fundamental problem with the industry in Brian’s view: conflicts of interest (45:01)Something to be excited about in 2021 (1:01:16) You can find Brian Turner on LinkedIn.Watch on YouTube or read on the web.Get full access to Nexus.

? #006: Prabhu Ramachandran of Facilio on a single pane of glass for the portfolio: Episode 6 is a conversation with Prabhu Ramachandran, CEO of Facilio, a software as a service platform for facility operations and maintenance. I really like where they're headed, and this was a really fun conversation. We talk about how Prabu was inspired by remote monitoring practices in the telecom industry and why he launched Facilio in the commercial real estate space. We talk about the next wave of smart buildings, which Prabu calls CRE 3.0. We deep dive into Facilio software, including the architecture of the suite of native apps, how it provides a single pane of glass for operators. by The Nexus Podcast
