Tracking and collaborating with IoT industry alliances and standards development organizations
We are tasked with reaching out to external organizations, e.g. IoT industry alliances and standards development organizations with a view to sharing information and gaining an understanding of how to achieve the convergence needed to realise the potential for the IoT/WoT.
This includes invitations to present external work to the Interest Group and vice versa, as well as the drafting of collaboration agreements.
The following wiki page provides a ist of organizations along with brief descriptions
Joint Activities across Industry Alliances and SDOs
- Joint white paper on Semantic Interoperability with oneM2M, IEEE P2413, Ontology Summit, I4.0, OCF and others
- To come, a joint white paper on trust assumptions for end to end security across different platforms
- To come, joint work on integrating specific platforms into the Web of Things
Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC)
Contact: Stephen Mellor
- Collaboration agreement already in place
oneM2M
WoT Contact: Yongjing Zhang
Contact: Omar Elloumi, Yongjing Zhang
- 11 Jan. 2017: Yongjing presented the Liaison Statement on behalf of oneM2M during the WoT IG call.
- 14 Nov. 2016: Got a Liaison Statement from oneM2M
- We need to arrange a time slot for someone to speak on behalf of oneM2M to the TD, SP and AP task forces.
- Here is the last message in thread: "Inviting OneM2M to present current status and plans?".
- We need to refine the draft collaboration text
- Here is the last message in thread: "One week Call for comments: Draft collaboration text with oneM2M".
- Dave Raggett presented Using semantics and rich metadata to bridge IoT silos — W3C’s work on the Web of Things at ETSI/OneM2M Workshop in 9th December.
- Soumya Kanti Datta presented Resource Discovery in IoT: Current Trends, Gap Analysis and Future Standardization Aspects at ETSI/OneM2M Workshop in 9th December.
Open Connectivity Foundation
This is relaunch of the Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC).
WoT Contact: Michael McCool
Contact: Michael Richmond, Daniel Park
- Offer via Michael to OCF to contribute to the joint white paper on semantic interoperability
- We need to arrange a time slot for someone to speak on behalf of OCF to the TD, SP and AP task forces
- We need to consider a draft collaboration agreement
- Daniel is interested in joint face to face meetings, and co-participation in plugfests
Open Group
Contact: Chris Harding
- Dave has been invited to present WoT to Open Group conference in London on 27 April 2016
- Chris has agreed to find someone to present Open Group O-MI and O-MF to WoT IG
IoT Security Foundation (IoTSF)
Contact: David Rogers
- David has been invited to present to the Security task force on 26 November 2015
Contact: Max Senges and Scott Jenson
- Scott gave us a presentation on Google's Physical Web during the Sunnyvale F2F on 29 July 2015
- Dave Raggett has written to Max asking for contacts for Google's work on Brillo and Nest Weave, with a view to an invited presentation to the WoT IG
Apple
Contact: tbd
We would like to invite a presentation on Apple's HomeKit.
Industry 4.0
Contact: Peter Adolphs (Pepperl+Fuchs), Prof Diedrich (Universität Magdeburg)
- Dave Raggett is in communication with Prof. Diedrich in respect to an invitation to present on smart manufacturing, including EDD, FTD FDI and IEC 61499. EDD is analogous to HTML and includes device descriptions, rules and user interface elements. FTD is used for software interfaces for devices in a vendor independent way. FDI provides for packaged applications based upon EDD and FDT. IEC 61499 defines a connected component architecture where connections pass events or values like booleans, numbers and strings. Each component has a control program that relates its inputs to its outputs. PROFINET defines wired and wireless industrial grade Ethernet LANs. PROFINET component description (PCD) files are based upon XML.
OPC Foundation
WoT Contact: Matthias Kovatsch, Dave Raggett
Contact: Stefan Hoppe
- They are working on OPC-UA which includes protocols and metadata for digital automation
- An incomplete indication of collaborations: https://opcfoundation.org/markets-collaboration/
- Dave worked with Stefan Hoppe on an informal memorandum of understanding which was signed at the Hannover trade fair in 2016
AIOTI
WoT Contact: Dave Raggett
- They have extensive connections with IoT alliances and SDOs
- They support the EU H2020 large scale IoT pilot projects
- Dave collaborated with them on the joint white paper on semantic interoperability
- Their website is at http://www.aioti.org/
Hypercat
Contact: John Davies (BT)
- Dave Raggett is in touch with John Davies in respect to a possible talk to the WoT IG thing description task force. John says Hypercat is aimed at offering a small mandatory core of ‘horizontal’ metadata for IOT using well-used and understood web tech (hence choice of JSON).
IPSO Alliance
WoT Contact: Jaime Jimenez (Ericsson)
Contact: Rikard Strid (Clayster)
- Dave Raggett is in touch with Rikard in respect to a possible talk to the WoT IG thing description task force. Michael is also involved with IPSo and I should encourage the two to collaborate on this.
ISO/IE/IEEE P21451-1-4 (Sensei-IoT*)
Contact: William Miller (MaCT USA)
- William has been invited to present IoT/PowerMatcher Test Bed to the DI task force on 03 December 2015.
ISO/IEC JTC 1/WG 10 (Internet of Things)
Yaeseul is the WG10 secretary and is asking us for feedback on the revised File:Wg10-files.zip. If we want to submit any comments, we requested to use the ISO commenting template and meet the deadline of 8th April 2016.
