Treffer: Status of web of things - the world wide web approach to internet of things

Nowadays, Internet of Things (IoT) is more recognized and also more fragmented than ever before. There are many IoT companies and manufactures with proprietary protocols for their own IoT applications, thus do not work or provide very limited interoperable capability. There are efforts to address this problem, one of the possible solutions is leveraging the success of the World Wide Web to create a uniform Application layer for IoT, this solution is called Web of Things (WoT). The World Wide Web has proven its success on the Internet, we can utilize the same principle to IoT. Using Web technology, all the Things in Internet of Things will be published and accessible using Web protocol stack, such as HTTP, HTTPs, Web Socket. And Web developers can build IoT applications with their familiar Web programming languages and tools, such as HTML, JavaScript, JSON, XML. There are two organizations who are working on official open standards for WoT: Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This thesis will evaluate two WoT standards: OGC's SensorThings API and W3C's Web Thing Model.
