Evolution of the Smart Spaces Paradigm Toward the Semantic Web of Things
Advances in wireless technologies and telecommunication book series · 2019
This chapter describes how the Smart-M3 platform evolved in the direction of supporting web standards (e.g., HTTP and Websockets) to be ready for the (Semantic) Web of Things. The latest step in the Smart-M3 progress is named SEPA (SPARQL Event Processing Architecture). Employing SEPA as a mean for semantic interoperability in the Web of Things means allowing heterogeneous devices to be discovered, accessed, and controlled through a set of SPARQL queries, subscriptions, and updates according to a given ontology. In this chapter, an ontology for the (Semantic) Web of Things is presented. Using web standards solves the issues of interoperability but poses new challenges with respect to the typical constraints of IoT applications.
