Research on the data format standard of Internet of Things based on XML and ontology
Jian Guan · The Internet of Things · 2012
Currently in the application level of Internet of Things(IoT), relevant data format standards are very complicated and every relational subject goes his own way. To solve this problem, this paper, from the view of XML and ontology, started with the relationship among Internet, Semantic Web and IoT and then put forward the way of building the IoT data format standardization system. The IoT data format standardization should be based on XML for syntax and on standard ontology for semantic consensus.The standardization system should be based on top-level ontology, supported by vertical domain ontology and horizontal task ontology, and establish a variety of application ontology standards. Finally, the system with a specific application is illustrated and some key points for the development are analyzed.
