Abstract

We present here an overview of the Generalized World Entities (GWEs) paradigm, to be used to add a semantic/conceptual dimension to the IoT/WoT procedures. GWEs offer a unified way to model seamlessly, at conceptual level, both the digital counterparts of elementary entities like physical objects, humans, robots etc. and the semantic representations of higher level of abstractions corresponding to structured situations/behaviors.
