Towards the next generation of web of things: A survey on semantic web of things’ framework

Abstract

The concept behind Semantic Web of Things (SWoT) is to extend the IoT (Internet of Things) architectures and to provide advanced resource management and discovery. It also uses integration of knowledge representation and reasoning techniques which are basically devised from the Semantic Web. The combining of two technologies aim towards the association of semantic annotations to real world objects. This paper discusses such three frameworks which are SWoT framework based on Ubiquitous Knowledge Base, CoAP based framework and smart gateway framework that have been developed and proposed for the extended IoT (SWoT) along with the basic challenges faced in the IoT.
