2 likes676 views
The document discusses the importance of interoperability in the Internet of Things (IoT), emphasizing the need for devices to communicate effectively across industries. It highlights the challenges of inconsistent data and naming conventions, proposing the use of a controlled vocabulary and common business ontology to standardize information. Additionally, it introduces Coreon as a SaaS solution offering semantic gateway services to enhance IoT connectivity and interoperability.

- 6. Normalization? 6 Cross-industry semantic interoperability, Embedded Computing Design June 29, 2017 × Standardizing point identifiers impossible. × Too much metadata. × Not extensible. Not changeable. Decouple point identifiers from metadata by association. Use domain expertise to build knowledge base. Consistent metadata terminology. Use metadata model for mapping. Normalization? – Metadata Abstraction!
