It’s safe to assume the Internet of Things is the future.
The term IoT describes a network of objects in your home or office that have sensors and software that enables them to communicate with each other using the internet. They are usually traditional, everyday objects such as:
The idea behind the Internet of Things is to create a smartphone. It enables you to control the conditions in the environment using your phone or computer, even if you are hundreds of miles away from the house.
Beyond mundane everyday tasks, IoT finds application in other vital areas as well, including:
Semantic interoperability describes the process in which a computer exchanges data with another computer.
It goes beyond that, though. The data has a shared meaning for the two devices. That means the language cannot contain any ambiguity. Semantic interoperability is a vital requirement for machine learning, knowledge discovery, machine computable logic, interfacing, and a few more.
Semantic interoperability deals both with the syntax of the data and its semantics. The syntax is the way data packaging happens. On the other hand, semantics is the way those packages are transmitted between the devices. The two or more computers that engage in semantic interoperability need to share a common vocabulary, such as a programming language.
Studies show that businesses benefit from the Internet of Things more than people might realize. The technology increases both safety and efficiency in large factories across various industries. The data the sensors collect may predict when machines wear down and need repairs. It also speeds up inventory management to a staggering level. Mistakes disappear almost entirely.
In short, the Internet of Things removes most of the guesswork from the production and shipment processes. It minimizes expenses and maximizes efficiency.
At home, IoT has similar benefits. The technology also makes it much easier to tailor the environment in your household in a way that helps you live a more comfortable, fulfilling life.
The concept might sound a little too technical and abstract. One would make a mistake to assume that the principles of semantic interoperability don’t affect the way IoT operates. In reality, the whole Internet of Things hoopla cannot exist without an efficient way the devices in a network can communicate. What’s more, computers need to communicate efficiently. Some estimates show US industry loses as much as $100 billion annually due to a lack of a universal standard for semantic interoperability. So, we can say the process and technology are a work in progress. The more we perfect it, the better it will be for both the economy and the private lives of individuals.
