Introduction

The term the "Internet of Things" is an evolving term used to refer to the technology and implementation of a global network of uniquely identifiable objects (things) and their on line representations. Things can be identified using RFID tags, optical codes, and other means; they can talk to each other as well as applications and online services. The concept of the Web of Things (WoT) considers how to fully integrate things not only on the internet, but the Web.

The Thing Broker enables easy application development by providing an easy to use RESTFul interface to things for applications for the WoT that can be deployed in a stand alone system, or as a platform as a service. The Thing Broker provides a data model supporting the notion of "things" as a way to encapsulate multiple sensor/actuator endpoints that are hosted on the same device, in the same environment, or on the same person.
