  • Patent number: 11874809
    Abstract: A building system of a building, the building system comprising one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive building metadata, the building metadata describing a plurality of components of the building, generate, based on the building metadata, a plurality of entities, each of the plurality of entities representing one of the plurality of components, and determine, based on the building metadata, relationships between the plurality of entities. The instructions cause the one or more processors to generate a plurality of metadata strings in a universal building schema comprising a plurality of characters representing a first entity of the plurality of entities, one or more second entities of the plurality of entities related to the first entity, and one or more relationships between the first entity and the one or more second entities.

  • Publication number: 20200133978
    Abstract: A building schema mapping system, the system including one or more memory devices configured to store instructions, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive strings in a first schema, each string representing at least one of a point, building equipment, or a building space, extract relationships from the strings, each relationship of the relationships indicating a particular relationship between a first string of the strings and a second string of the strings, label each of the strings based on characters of each of the strings, and generate a graph data structure of a second schema based on the relationships and the label of each of the strings.
