Evolving an experimental integrative research platform
Orange proposes to build the Web of Things collaboratively
- as a full-fledged graph abstracting all kinds of connectivity, not only as a set of disconnected resources accessed through web protocols
- as an open, shared, yet managed and curated platform.
- The Thing’in platform will provide enablers and APIs for developers, data providers & data users, object manufacturers
Challenges of the Thing’in platform
- Shared referencing of physical things, keeping owners in charge of information disclosure
- Evolving a shared model for the description of things, their categories, properties & relationships
- Maintaining proper separation of concerns between different scales and domains of the graph while keeping the benefits of inter-connexion
- Managing proper distribution of the platform
