Siemens Home Connect is your smart way to connect your home appliances to the internet and to each other. 1 The Dosimetry Research Tool shown in the image is an Investigational Device. In these profiles (Thing Descriptions), experts from a variety of industries – all of which have their own special, industry-specific terminology (different language standards remain) – use a standardized format to tell one another who they are, what they can do, and what they’ve achieved. In other words, basic information that’s necessary for connecting to the IoT and that especially identifies what kind of Thing it is and what instruction sets and data formats it uses,” says Käbisch.Ī Thing Description can be likened to a profile on LinkedIn. “The Thing Description combines information about a Thing in a standard format – for example, the data and functionalities it offers, the communication protocol that should be used, as well as other important metadata. Sebastian Kbisch, IoT expert at Siemens, Co-Chair of the W3C WoT Working Group and coeditor of the Thing Description explains: Technologies of the WoT like. For example, they include microcomputers that only send the data from a sensor to the cloud as well as powerful computer systems or even virtual units made up of multiple components. Things in the IoT sometimes differ greatly.
