The Internet of Things (IoT) is about inter-networking real word objects in order to foster data exchange and communication among things. In this work we present the IoT Application Profile (IoT-AP) ontology with a particular focus on the pattern-based design methodology used for modelling the ontology.

The steady rise in technological advancements has provided marketers with numerous opportunities to connect with consumers. One such innovation has been the web of interconnected devices known as the Internet of Things (IoT). However, new digital channels such as this present communication teams with both opportunities and challenges. This paper aims to bring understanding to a series of barrie...

The Internet of Things is rapidly developing in recent years. A number of devices connect with the Internet. Hence, the interoperability, which is the access and interpretation of unambiguous data, is strongly needed by distributed and heterogeneous devices. The semantics promotes the interoperability in the Internet of Things using ontology to provide precise definition of concepts and relatio...
