RESTful Web of Things API in Sharing Sensor Data

Abstract

Recent development in the Web of Things (WoT) domain makes it possible to access sensor data via the web. While due to different structures and interfaces of the sensor networks, it's not that easy to fully integrating their data to the web then share and reuse it later. This paper introduces a platform using RESTful Web of Things API to help share sensor data. First explains the significance and advantage of adopting RESTful style API, then points out the architecture of this platform. Later proposes the RESTful API and protocols of this platform. Finally a typical application scene of this platform is described and analyzed.
