This Recommendation provides a framework of the web of things (WoT). The Recommendation covers the followings:

• overview of the WoT

• requirements to support the WoT

• deployment models of the WoT

• functional architecture for the WoT.

This Recommendation demonstrates how physical devices can interact with web resources. This Recommendation also includes WoT use cases in Appendix I and information flows in Appendix II. The detailed web technology including the semantics and ontology is beyond the scope of this Recommendation.

NOTE – This Recommendation only addresses physical devices within a broad scope of "things" [ITU-T Y.2060].
