摘要

According to our original vision of the Internet of Things (IoT), it should be possible to create ad hoc and loosely coupled information flows between any kinds of products, devices, computers, users, and information systems in general when and as needed. However, this is still challenging to achieve in practice due to the lack of sufficiently generic and standardized interfaces for creating the needed information flows between all devices and systems that the IoT is composed of. The paper presents necessary requirements for such interfaces, as well as proposed interface standards that fulfill those requirements. The paper describes the design principles and provides a high-level description of the proposed standards, followed by real-life implementations that illustrate why such standards are needed and how they are applied.
