WoT Outreach: joint slide set Outreach slide set aims to increase the awareness of W3C’s WoT work # Comments Arne: Abgrenzung zu anderen Initiativen / Konsortien Arne:
What is W3C WoT? W3C WoT works on Web technology standards to enable applications and services that span IoT platforms on devices ranging from microcontrollers to cloud-based server farms. Focus on: Thing to Thing interaction Thing to IoT platform interaction Domain experts work in task forces on Thing Description APIs & Protocols Thing Discovery Security
Status/Timeline of W3C WoT 06/2014 – Initial W3C Workshop on the Web of Things, Berlin 09/2014 - W3C Web of Things Interest Group and Community Group started 04/2015 - 1st IG face to face, Munich 07/2015 - Joint meeting with IRTF, Prague 07/2015 - 2nd IG face to face, Sunnyvale 10/2015 – 3rd IG face to face, Sapporo ??? - W3C Web of Things Working Group to start
Focus of W3C WoT Evaluate & recommend a wide-spread & domain-agnostic technology basis for WoT applications and services technology standard WoT technology basis can be referenced by other standardization bodies, and used in domain specific applications application standard Focus of W3C WoT is on a technology standard, not an application standard
Not in scope To create yet another: IoT platform Domain-specific specification (vocabularies, data models etc.) Communication protocol Serialization format Discovery mechanism Security mechanism Instead we plan to re-use existing and emerging standards such as CoAP, HTTP, JSON-LD, RDF, …
WoT Building Blocks Tech. Stack - what you can use to make your application or domain standard WoT-ready WoT Model Thing interaction model Thing Description Thing and server metadata Serialization through common formats Web of Things scripting API Polyglot bindings to various scripting languages APIs to expose, discover and interact with Things Bindings To Common Protocols Protocols to discover Things Mapping of Thing interactions to protocols Web-level authentication and authorization
Why should you care about? Why is W3C WoT important (Marketing?) W3C is independent IPR free open standards Broad adoption of Web standards with large developer base Browser harmonization as a success story for IoT platforms
Liaisons/Collaborations with Other Groups Within W3C RDF EXI SDWWG Generic Sensor APIs Multimodal Interaction … Other standardization bodies IETF/IRTF OneM2M IPSO IIC
Applications Use cases? Demonstrate a wide scope of use cases/ domains by sticky examples Funny, impressive examples Not sure about expectation!
Group Members List members/companies…
Roadmap/Outlook What should be happing next… Support open-source implementations Initiate a working group Prepare recommendations
