Thank you bertails for the post. I work in IoT and we are also moving in that direction. I was of course hesitant, because of the criticism of semantic web on the ...web ;-), but this approach is used very successfully in our market for many years:

- https://haxall.io/ basically a reinvented copy of sem-web, but so much nicer from a dev perspective

- Used by https://skyfoundry.com/product

- https://brickschema.org/ the new star, built on sem-web

- Used by https://www.mapped.com/ where one of the founders worked on Brick

- https://docs.open223.info also a model that has caught interest in the market

- https://qudt.org/ de-facto standard for units and conversions

We started just a couple of months ago, but I have not regretted the decision, yet.

The downside of a lesser known tech-stack is always the missing OSS tools, e.g. for authoring, ownership management, review workflows etc. Counting on you guys to open source some good stuff ;-)

When we are further down the road, I am interested to get in touch with you guys, if you are up for it?

edit: forgot the ontology part of the haxall project.
