Semantic Interoperability on the Web of Things: The Semantic Smart Gateway Framework

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present authors' proposal regarding semantic interoperability for interconnected and semantically coordinated smart entities in a Web of Things. More specific, the paper presents a use case scenario and requirements related to the semantic registration, coordination and retrieval of smart entities. Motivated by these, the paper accentuates the need for, and emphasizes, a framework of Semantic Smart Gateways (SSGF) in the Semantic Web of Things (SWoT), proposing an ontology learning and an ontology alignment method respectively.
