(Voice-over:) The W3C Web of Things Community Group has organized 19 online meetups to date, showcasing the widespread adoption of the Web of Things across various domains. Let’s take a sneak peek at some of them.
Matthias Held (SICK AG): Web of Things plays also a huge role in SICK LiveConnect, because we have on the edge side in the local environment a Thing Description directory for discovering the Things...
Then I will hand over to Erich who will show you how he on boards with the same Thing Description in his own stack to the Azure Cloud also a PAC4200.
Erich Barnstedt (Microsoft): Let me introduce the UAH Edge Translator so we actually contributed that to the OPC Foundation but it's using the same concepts that the sayWoT! stack uses so...
Christof Küstner (Schaeffler Group): ... we know about that it exists and maybe if there are sensors attached we also want to interact with the sensors and this is why we came to the WoT standard in the very beginning. This is a slide...
Ben Francis (Krellian): So, Krellian Cloud is acting as a Thing Description 1.1 Consumer. It's also an implementation of a Thing Description Directory from the WoT discovery specification and it's acting as a Consumer of the HTTP Basic profile to read properties and the HTTP SSE profile to observe...
Richard Bowman (OpenFlexure, University of Bath): How could we achieve interoperability without trying to persuade everyone to use one universal framework? So, we'd need a standard, cross platform, language-independent way to run actions, get and set properties, watch for events and tie that all together with nice documentation - and that's exactly what the Web of Things Standard does, so I think it's a perfect fit there.
(Voice-over:) The Web of Things is being adopted in many areas, and now it's your turn to get involved. Join us and be part of the growing Web of Things community!
