Abstract

Interoperability within the Internet of Things is mired in entrenched incompatible specifications, backed by industry giants and consortiums seemingly hoping to “win the stack”. There is little hope that a common set of standards will be universally adopted that will allow all our Things to work together. However, by applying some of the core lessons of the Internet - use URIs for IDs, manipulate documents using the REST Model, and that documents should be “JSON-like” dictionary - we can create near seamless interoperability between Things independent of their standards stack.
