What is Tagging?
Tagging is the process of marking data points with metadata to give them context, meaning and findability – following standardised taxonomies such as Project Haystack or BRICK to ensure data is interpretable by any system.
Technical Definition: The process of marking data points with metadata to give them context, meaning and findability. Good tagging follows standardised taxonomies (such as Project Haystack or BRICK) to ensure data is interpretable by any system, not just the one that created it.
Why it matters: Tagging is the foundation of your data strategy. Without correct tags, a sensor value of 23.4°C cannot be found, understood or used by analytics tools. Good tagging transforms raw data into structured, actionable information.
HubMind’s view: We implement tagging strategies based on international standards and adapt them to each facility’s specific needs. Consistent tagging from day one saves enormous manual effort in every future integration project.
