The Internet of Things is a vast and growing virtual universe that includes medical devices, automobiles, industrial systems and a variable number of consumer electronics devices. With some 100 billion devices expected to be connected to the Internet by 2025, providing interoperability among the things on the IoT is one of the most fundamental requirements to support tracking, object addressing and discovery as well as information representation, storage, and exchange. Applying semantic techniques to IoT can support Interoperability, effective data access, integration resource discovery reasoning and processing of data knowledge extraction. In this paper, we present an overview of semantic technologies such as Semantic Web of Things (SWoT), Ontologies, Resource Description Framework (RDF), RDF Schema, Web Ontology Language (OWL), SPARQL Protocol And RDF Query Language (SPARQL), Semantic annotation and reasoning widely deployed in IoT.
