Middleware in Internet of Things ecosystem plays an important role. Its role is to hide the complexity of connected devices and to provide services to domain-oriented applications that ease the development and support of these applications. Middleware should be able to work with the devices using different protocols, data models and terms. In this paper we describe a middleware, called SemIoT Platform, which employs Semantic Web technologies, existing ontologies and architectural style REST to met the requirements of an IoT middleware. At the end we evaluate its characteristics in a case study.
