A Structural Representation Method for Information of Things in Internet of Things
Guiping Dai, Yong Wang · 2020
IoT (Internet of Things) has already gained more and more attentions globally. But the IoT is still young. With development of IoT and more and more requirements of integration of things information based on different connection technologies, a connection-technology-independent representation method for information of things is needed to give a unified definition and specification for information of things. In this paper, the necessary the unified definition and specification for information of things are discussed and a structural representation method for information of things in IoT is introduced, including the selection of representation tool, structural definition for information of things and concrete definition for information of things. The method can be a basis for standardization of things’ information, connection-technology-independent middleware and applications for IoT in future.
