AllJoyn is an open source software framework that lets compatible devices and applications discover each other and communicate and work together across different product categories, platforms, brands and connection types, aimed largely at Internet of Things devices. It was first released in December 2013 and was originally promoted by the AllSeen Alliance, a group backed by the Linux Foundation, until that group merged into the Open Connectivity Foundation in 2016; AllJoyn source code moved to GitHub in 2018. Qualcomm originally developed the framework before its stewardship passed to the Linux Foundation and then the Open Connectivity Foundation.

Entity identity for the business product-service.sector GICS enum value this member already carries, per the phase 3 entity-backed browse bucket pilot (docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md, owner decision 2026-09-28 on business product-service.sector, w-bucketpilot-gics-0929). The sector fact itself, with its own citation, remains on the member entity unchanged; this edge only adds the durable entity identity the enum value already names.
