FPWD: Web of Things (WoT) Scripting API

Web of Things (WoT) Scripting API

https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/WD-wot-scripting-api-20170914/

Abstract


The Web of Things (WoT) provides layered interoperability between Things by using the WoT Interfaces.

This specification describes a programming interface representing the WoT Interface that allows scripts run on a Thing to discover and consume (retrieve) other Things and to expose Things characterized by properties, Actions and Events.

Scripting is an optional "convenience" building block in WoT and it is typically used in gateways that are able to run a WoT Runtime and script management, providing a convenient way to extend WoT support to new types of endpoints and implement WoT applications like Thing Directory.
