WoT Outreach: joint slide set
Outreach slide set aims to increase the awareness of W3C’s
WoT work
What is W3C WoT?
• W3C WoT works on Web technology standards to
enable applications and services that span IoT
platforms on devices ranging from microcontrollers to
cloud-based server farms. Focus on:
– Thing to Thing interaction
– Thing to IoT platform interaction
• Domain experts work in task forces on

Thing Description
APIs & Protocols
Thing Discovery
Security
Status/Timeline of W3C WoT
• 06/2014 – Initial W3C Workshop on the Web of
Things, Berlin
• 09/2014 - W3C Web of Things Interest Group and
Community Group started
• 04/2015 - 1st IG face to face, Munich
• 07/2015 - Joint meeting with IRTF, Prague
• 07/2015 - 2nd IG face to face, Sunnyvale
• 10/2015 – 3rd IG face to face, Sapporo
• ??? - W3C Web of Things Working Group to start
Focus of W3C WoT
• Evaluate & recommend a wide-spread & domainagnostic technology basis for WoT applications and
services
 technology standard
• WoT technology basis can be referenced by other
standardization bodies, and used in domain specific
applications
 application standard
• Focus of W3C WoT is on a technology standard, not an
application standard
Not in scope
• To create yet another:
– IoT platform
– Domain-specific specification
(vocabularies, data models etc.)
– Communication protocol
– Serialization format
– Discovery mechanism
– Security mechanism
• Instead we plan to re-use existing and emerging
standards such as CoAP, HTTP, JSON-LD, RDF, …

Why should you care about?
• Why is W3C WoT important (Marketing?)
• W3C is independent
• IPR free open standards
• Broad adoption of Web standards with large
developer base
• Browser harmonization as a success story for
IoT platforms

Applications
• Use cases?
• Demonstrate a wide scope of use cases/
domains by sticky examples
• Funny, impressive examples
• Not sure about expectation!
Group Members
• List members/companies…
Roadmap/Outlook
• What should be happing next…
• Support open-source implementations
• Initiate a working group
• Prepare recommendations
