AbstractThe Internet of Things (IoT), a global Internet-based system of computing devices and machines, is one of the most significant trends in the information technology area. An accepted unified communication approach would be a prerequisite for its mass adoption. Semantic technologies (Semantic Web) have been advocated as enablers of unified communication. However, while there are particular advancements in research on application of Semantic Web in the IoT domain, the dynamic and complex nature of the IoT often requires case specific solutions hard to be applied widely. In the present survey, the semantic technology challenges in the IoT domain are amalgamated to provide background for further studies in the use of semantic technologies in the IoT.

Industry 4.0 is a technology-driven manufacturing process that heavily relies on technologies, such as the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, web services, and big real-time data. Industry 4.0 has significant potential if the challenges currently being faced by introducing these technologies are effectively addressed. Some of these challenges consist of deficiencies in terms of interoperability and standardization. Semantic Web technologies can provide useful solutions for several problems in this new industrial era, such as systems integration and consistency checks of data processing and equipment assemblies and connections. This paper discusses what contribution the Semantic Web can make to Industry 4.0.

The Internet of things is the extension and expansion of the Internet, emphasizing the connectivity of items, forms a network by making a variety of objects connected with each other through various information sensing equipment. Starting from expounding the connotation of the Internet of things, we will explore applications of the Internet of things in the management of students, the management of teaching environment in class,library management,the management of teaching instruments and equipment etc.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently received considerable interest from both academia and industry that are working on technologies to develop the future Internet. It is a joint and complex discipline that requires synergetic efforts from several communities such as telecommunication industry, device manufacturers, semantic Web, and informatics and engineering. Much of the IoT initiative is supported by the capabilities of manufacturing low-cost and energy-efficient hardware for devices with communication capacities, the maturity of wireless sensor network technologies, and the interests in integrating the physical and cyber worlds. However, the heterogeneity of the “Things” makes interoperability among them a challenging problem, which prevents generic solutions from being adopted on a global scale. Furthermore, the volume, velocity and volatility of the IoT data impose significant challenges to existing information systems. Semantic technologies based on machine-interpretable representation formalism have shown promise for describing objects, sharing and integrating information, and inferring new knowledge together with other intelligent processing techniques. However, the dynamic and resource-constrained nature of the IoT requires special design considerations to be taken into account to effectively apply the semantic technologies on the real world data. In this article the authors review some of the recent developments on applying the semantic technologies to IoT.

Semantic Web technologies act as an interoperability glue among different formats, protocols and platforms, providing a uniform vision of heterogeneous devices and services in the Internet of Things (IoT). Semantic Web technologies can be applied to a broad range of application contexts (i.e., industrial automation, automotive, health care, defense, finance, smart cities) involving heterogeneous actors (i.e., end users, communities, public authorities, enterprises). Smart-M3 is a semantic publish-subscribe software architecture conceived to merge the Semantic Web and the IoT domains. It is based on a core component (SIB, Semantic Information Broker) where data is stored as RDF graphs, and software agents using SPARQL to update, retrieve and subscribe to changes in the data store. This article describes a OSGi SIB implementation extended with a new persistent SPARQL update primitive. The OSGi SIB performance has been evaluated and compared with the reference C implementation. Eventually, a first porting on Android is presented.
