Abstract:
Nowadays, we make a separation between the real/physical world and the Internet. It is time for these two be blended and provide ubiquitous access and interoperability online. We are approaching Internet of Things - a forthcoming technological revolution that will radically change our environment and enable innovative applications and services. To make this happen, we have to eliminate the fragmentation in used technologies and have to make the devices be used across various applications and services. We need to find a way to actually carry out the necessary and massive deployment of ubiquitous devices. So we need to put more effort into the design of tools to automate deployment and configuration of devices. This paper tackled a problem of an effective way to support interoperability in Internet of Things. We consider human as a very powerful asset in the world of ubiquitous systems and services that may provide his/her knowledge, experience and expertise. At the same time, we see a lack of human-oriented systems and infrastructures to support such a new role of a human. With a respect to the above statements, authors propose visually-enriched approach for user-powered ontology alignment to facilitate semantic interoperability in the Web of Things.
