Toward semantic interoperability in oneM2M architecture

Abstract

In moving toward an interoperability architecture, the concept of network centric is a step in the right direction-all modules connect to the network, not to each other. And a handful of good network citizenship rules provide a syntactical guide for attachment. From the point of view of the network designer this is sufficient-we have enough to build internetworks for the common good. The continued burgeoning of the Internet constitutes an existence proof. But a common networking base is insufficient to reach a goal of cross-system interoperability-the large information system. Many standardization efforts have attempted to solve this problem, but appear to have lacked the necessary scope. For instance, there have been many efforts aimed at standardizing data elements; these efforts, if followed through, yield some gains, but never seem to quite reach the interoperability goal. If we are to truly erect an interoperability architecture, we need to broaden the scope. This problem of cross-program, cross-service and cross-ally interoperability requires that we agree on the what of modularization, not just the how. This paper is aimed at framing the interoperability architecture problem. On modularization The core of architecture-the way things fit together-is a sense of modularization. This is the part of the problem that is perhaps the least mechanical and requires judgment. Experience, no doubt, helps. Architectural conformity must be traded off against other desired characteristics. The objective is that modules become inherently interoperable so we have components delivered by multiple programs that can be assembled for particular tasks. Prerequisite-network centric.

Enabling IoT automation using local clouds

“…Semantics interoperability is still an open field of research [35], [36]. Some interesting approaches can be found in [37], [38]. The conceptual interoperability solution regarding protocols, semantics, encoding and compression within a local cloud is through a translator service is building on the concepts put forward by Derhamy et.al [33].…”

IoT-O, a Core-Domain IoT Ontology to Represent Connected Devices Networks

“…This is why we propose IoT-O 2 , an IoT core-domain modular ontology engineered for reusability and extensibility. IoT-O is also available on the LOV 3 , and based on the initial contribution of [4]. IoT systems are strongly bound to their environment, because they are composed of devices in contact with the physical world.…”

IoT-Based Techniques for Online M2M-Interactive Itemized Data Registration and Offline Information Traceability in a Digital Manufacturing System

“…Since ontology can be used to establish the relations between variable for some computation for a particular domain of discourse, it is considered a promising solution to organise information and limit complexity in the fields like semantic web, system engineering, and software engineering. Due to the fundamental importance, ontology is widely used in IoT-based systems including digital manufacturing, such as IoT-O to promote the semantic interoperability in oneM2M architecture [14], and Semantic I4.0 Component for Industry 4.0 scenarios [15]. The new method for managing dynamic ontologies in the manufacturing domain can potentially promote the manufacturing enterprise as a highly dynamic environment.…”
