Virtual IoT | Getting Started with a W3C Web of Things Project
The W3C Web of Things (WoT) Interest Group (IG) is designing technological building blocks that help to complement existing IoT platforms and protocols, and thereby enable interoperability at a Web scale. A draft for the overall architecture can be found here. The building blocks are described in the Current Practices document and include: the W3C Thing Description to provide the data and interaction as well as metadata for things, a Scripting API for portable apps to augment physical devices or instantiate virtual things on hubs or the cloud, and multiple protocol bindings.
This talk will give more details about the Web of Things idea and will provide a getting-started guide for implementers who are interested in contributing and/or participating in our so-called PlugFests. The next PlugFest is 12 July 2016 in Beijing, China and will also allow for online participation.
