Abstract
In recent years, common-use devices has seen a leap transition in terms of equipped technology, introducing the so called “smart things” to the consumer market. This technological and societal revolution has underpinned the realization of the Internet of Things. To take full advantage of the opportunities arising from connectivity capabilities, smart things approached the application realm bringing the novel Web of Things vision to life. The Web, as a collaborative global space of information, is a critical asset to create value-added services. However, such a promising potential entails a number of challenges including data interoperability, data integration, information reuse and collaboration. This Ph.D. work focuses on a novel approach to take a smart thing to the Web, by representing it as graph of granular and individually addressable information called IDN-Document. IDN-Documents are simply structured web resources which can be aggregated, linked, reused and combined to build collaboration oriented, value-added services. IDN-Documents are managed by the InterDataNet middleware leveraging Linked Data and REST.
