Interoperability and IoT: Standardization & Open API Key

Internet is considered as one of the most important and powerful creations in all of human history. Internet of Things (IoT), also known as Web of Things or Internet of Objects, represents the next wave of evolution that is promising to connect every object on earth; living as well as non-living. With this kind of a connectivity established, there is a possibility of genera &ing and transmitting real-time data from all kind of objects -- homogeneous as well as heterogeneous, conveying all kind of statuses depending on the object to which this data is attributed to.
The data that is generated will pose a huge challenge, in terms of its assimilation and the derivation of the right context and meaning, by the receiving entities. There is, thus, a huge possibility of fragmentation in terms of technologies used to process this data. Moreover, numerous services and applications are bound to be developed to control and operate the connected things/objects. Hence, there is a strong need for a generic framework, which removes the fragmentation in technologies and provides for interoperability and ubiquitous access.
