IAB Semantic Interoperability Workshop

The IAB is organising a workshop on Semantic Interoperability on 17-18 March, see:

       https://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/iotsi/

Hannes Tschofenig sent me these notes on the expected outcome for the workshop:

> ·  Better understanding of the state-of-the-art since there are many organizations trying to do essentially the same thing. We believe that this harms interoperability. The position papers and the workshop report will capture those aspects.
> ·  Socializing among the members of different organizations, and other participants. We have a social event planned on the first evening.
>  
> Maybe during the discussions a consensus emerges of which technical solution emerges.
 
I have now received authorization to attend and plan to submit a position paper in the next few days.  Are any other members of the WoT IG planning to attend the workshop, and would you like to collaborate on the position paper?

I believe that the Web of Things provides the outline for a technical solution for a heterogenous set of platforms, but there are plenty of details to be worked out. One of the topics we can discuss is the relationship amongst different approaches to representing metadata and how they can be related through a common underlying framework.
