Re: [Iotsi] New IoT effort at schema.org

Hullo

Based on practical experience, one of the biggest challenges is to have a view of the overall system state. This is partly covered in the concepts of interim (interstitial?) states in this paper, but bugs and potential bugs in composed components need to be accounted for (I think). This degree of uncertainty can be modelled, but probably not in the hardware scope of Things themselves as they tend to be under-powered.*

However, there is a significant issue that the deployed Things do not necessarily tell (or know) the truth about what they are or their current state.

*Is there a taxonomy for the different types of ‘Thing’: I’ve previously distinguished between the real-world, the sensors/actuators that interact with the real world, the software representations of the sensors/actuators and compositions of such software representations (which must still support minimal behaviours such as re-initialise).

Some of the folks in that conversation have had some further discussion about the prospect with the folks at schema.org <http://schema.org/>, which does a similar thing for web-based schemas.   That resulted in schema.org <http://schema.org/> folks volunteering to set up an "iot.schema.org <http://iot.schema.org/>", which is meant to help both "things" and services interoperate on a semantic level, as a common look-up site for types, properties, and enumerated values for structured data found in IoT.
