Brick
Brick is an open-source, BSD-licensed development effort to create a uniform schema for representing metadata in buildings. Brick has three components: (1) An RDF class hierarchy describing the various building subsystems and the entities and equipment therein (2) A minimal, principled set of relationships for connecting these entities together into a directed graph representing a building (3) A method of encapsulation for composing complex components from a set of lower-level ones [link]
