How do devices in the Internet of Things communicate their abilities? Independent of any representation of a device in a programming language or an IoT platform, a good information model can capture features and properties of a physical device, which can be translated into unambiguous code or domain-specific languages. The Eclipse Vorto project offers a set of tools and a platform that can be used to develop and share information models and code generators. Information models can further be augmented with ontological information, i.e. how devices relate to each other (think ‘thermostat’ and ‘boiler’). This talk is going to provide a high-level overview of Vorto and why the Eclipse SmartHome project has recently started to engage with ontologies.
