Abstract

Semantic Web of Things (SWoT) suggests the design of interoperable IoT services on the Web using Semantic Web technologies. SWoT is a semantic extension of the Web of Things (WoT) that allows applications to share content and services beyond their limits and to develop new applications as a composition of existing ones. Leveraging work for IoT Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) design in the cloud, and recent recommendations and standards of the Semantic Web community, iSWoT’s ambition is to combine existing and new ideas into a single framework and make a step towards the realization of the SWoT vision. iSWoT design is novel and deals with the challenges of security, openness and interoperability. Relying on a SOA design, iSWoT is implemented as a composition of RESTful micro-services, it is expandable (i.e. services can be added or removed) while being secure by design: access to services is granted only to authorized users (or other services) based on user roles and access policies. The experimental results are a good support to the claims of efficiency and proved that iSWoT responds in real-time under heavy workloads in a realistic smart home and smart city use case.
