Much of the potential of the IoT will be realised through value-added services, but this is being held back by fragmentation and limited interoperability. W3C is addressing this through developing web standards for things that decouple applications from the underlying IoT technologies. Applications will no longer need to be developed around the details of the myriad IoT technologies and standards. This means that developers can create applications more easily, ...

Presentation The IoT landscape is a very complex one and the IoT standardisation is no different. However, standards are paying an increased role in the set-up, design and development of the IoT systems. IoT Standardisation is following the evolution of IoT and the technical issues that have to be addressed and resolved. IoT standards are not just providing various communications solutions but address more globally all the issues of in...

The tutorial will introduce the idea of semantic interoperability and the use of ontologies. Participants will learn what an ontology is and how it can be used. A focus will be on reusing and extending existing ontologies,e.g. SAREF, and getting experience on finding the right ontologies for a given purpose in an ontology catalogue. Finally, ontologies will be used to develop a semantic application for one application domain,e.g. smart home, which will then be extended to semantically interop...

The data interoperability in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) has several issues to be solved by the research community. For instance, the large amount of data, the numerous different data models and the data collection at high speed are key challenges to address by the different organizations working in the domain of IoT data interoperability. Different dimensions of IoT data interoperability exist like semantic interoperability, syntacticalinteroperability and the object abstr...

This session provides an opportunity for the AIOTI semantic expert group to discuss the role of ontologies in the context of the Green and Digital transformation with external stakeholders. We would like to start with an introduction to the Green and Digital transformation by the EC. Then provide an update about the activities in the AIOTI semantic expert group concerning ontologies (especially the Ontology landscape recently published), while sharing some e...
