Abstract
The Web of Things (WoT) paradigm is based on the use of protocols and standards widely accepted and already in use in the traditional Web, such as the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), to support information sharing and device interoperation. These standards combined with other elements such as the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural pattern and the Resource-oriented architecture (ROA) allow sensed data, provided by the sensing physical devices via a Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), to be treated as any other resource on the Web. Such physical devices are identified by URIs and accessed via HTTP basic operations (HTTP verbs). This Chapter briefly presents the main key concepts that support the WoT paradigm, such as wireless sensor networks, REST and ROA. We also discuss about the requirements that a middleware for IoT/WoT should meet and we give an overview of existing proposals for such a middleware.
