Open Equipment Taxonomy Alliance
Overview
The Open Equipment Taxonomy is a jointly developed program by members of the equipment software community. Equipment taxonomy is a basic infrastructure need for all digital service providers - it powers discovery, search, and interoperability between different software platforms. The project was begun by Boom and Bucket using over 2.32M data points, which were categorized and aliased with a combination of AI and human review. Members of the Alliance contribute make-model data to be categorized and aliased for use by all. The Taxonomy currently has over 70,000 make-model combinations taxonomized and is growing daily.
How it works
The Open Equipment Taxonomy is available to the general public. It can be downloaded in CSV format (updated monthly) or in its most up-to-date JSON format via an open API endpoint (coming soon). Companies with unstructured data sets (equipment management software providers, marketplaces, OEMs, etc.) can submit make-model combinations for categorization and aliasing using the sample format provided. That data will then be incorporated into the equipment taxonomy for general use.
How to join
If you’d like to join the alliance, simply submit your unique make-model combinations in the format below along with any questions to partnerships@boomandbucket.com.
