Hi, Although the phrase "Web of Things" is still far from being as popular as "Internet of Things", I feel that it is already being used to refer to several distinct concepts; I'm sending what I've heard so far here, to see if this matches what others have heard, hopefully to hear what others have heard differently, and possibly to converge on a more reduced set of meanings, possibly completed with other terminology for the other concepts. * Web of Things as a subset of Internet of Things: the Web of Things would be limited to the Things that speak Web, i.e. use HTTP over TCP/IP and expose Web formats (e.g. JSON, or XML, or HTML) * a subset of the above: the Web of Things would be limited to Things that speak Web through RESTful interfaces (incl. the HATEOAS principles) * Web of Things as a particular approach to the Internet of Things: bringing a set of higher level interfaces to provide a more uniform development platform * Reaching to the Internet of Things via a Web browser Dom
