Abstract
The INTER-IoT project aims at delivering a comprehensive solution to the problem of interoperability of Internet of Things platforms. Henceforth, semantic interoperability also has to be addressed. This should involve a hierarchy of ontologies, starting from an upper ontology, through core and domain ontologies. As a starting point, we have analyzed ontological models of the concepts of thing, device, observation and deployment, as occurring in the IoT domain. We have chosen five popular ontologies: SSN, SAREF, oneM2M Base Ontology, IoT-Lite, and OpenIoT, as candidates for a central INTER-IoT ontology.
