https://www.w3.org/ – 5 December 2023 – The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) announced today that Web of Things (WoT) Architecture 1.1, Web of Things (WoT) Thing Description 1.1, and Web of Things (WoT) Discovery are now official W3C Recommendations. Without breaking compatibility with the first release in 2020, these new W3C Recommendations improve and expand the scope of the Web of Things and add significant new functionality. In addition, two supporting W3C Notes have been updated, the Web of Things (WoT) Binding Templates and the Web of Things (WoT) Scripting API.https://www.w3.org/ – 5 December 2023 – 万维网联盟（W3C）今日宣布，Web of Things (WoT) Architecture 1.1、Web of Things (WoT) Thing Description 1.1 和 Web of Things (WoT) Discovery 现已成为正式 W3C 推荐标准。在不破坏与 2020 年首个版本兼容性的前提下，这些新的 W3C 推荐标准完善并扩展了 Web of Things 的范围，并新增了重要功能。此外，两份配套的 W3C Note 已更新，分别是 Web of Things (WoT) Binding Templates 和 Web of Things (WoT) Scripting API。

WoT addresses the IoT fragmentation problemWoT 解决 IoT 碎片化问题

Currently, Internet of Things (IoT) systems suffer from lack of interoperability and fragmentation. Customers want to be able to choose devices from multiple vendors without redesign. The Web of Things (WoT) extends the IoT with web technology to address this issue. In particular, the WoT recommendations provide a format for standardized descriptive information, the WoT Thing Description, to allow easy integration of IoT devices and services. This includes IoT systems that have already been released and use different IoT communication protocols and data standards. In short, the WoT uses web technology to harmonize access to diverse IoT devices and breaks silo walls. This allows WoT applications to be written on top of a single, portable interaction abstraction.当前，物联网（IoT）系统面临互操作性不足和碎片化问题。客户希望能够选择多个供应商的设备，而无需重新设计。Web of Things（WoT）利用 Web 技术扩展 IoT，以解决这一问题。具体而言，WoT 推荐标准提供了标准化描述信息格式 WoT Thing Description，以便轻松集成 IoT 设备和服务。这包括已经发布、且采用不同 IoT 通信协议和数据标准的 IoT 系统。简而言之，WoT 使用 Web 技术统一对各类 IoT 设备的访问，打破孤岛壁垒。这使得 WoT 应用可以构建在单一、可移植的交互抽象之上。

Significant improvements and functionality重要改进与功能

These new Recommendations were revised to improve the usability of the previous release and address new use cases. Significant new features were also defined, including Thing Models and Discovery. Thing Models provide a way to describe classes of things, such as sensor devices or product lines from particular vendors, and support modularity by allowing a parameterized model to be built from reusable components.这些新推荐标准经过修订，以提升先前版本的可用性并满足新用例。其中还定义了重要的新特性，包括 Thing Models 和 Discovery。Thing Models 提供了一种描述“物”类别的方式，例如传感器设备或特定供应商的产品线，并通过允许基于可复用组件构建参数化模型来支持模块化。

 A Thing Model can be used to generate a Thing Description by providing the appropriate parameters. Discovery provides easy access to Thing Descriptions, while controlling access appropriately to preserve privacy. It does not replace other existing discovery mechanisms but builds upon and applies them to the distribution of Thing Descriptions.  Thing Model 可用于通过提供适当参数生成 Thing Description。Discovery 提供对 Thing Description 的便捷访问，同时适当控制访问以保护隐私。它不会取代其他现有发现机制，而是在其基础上构建，并将其应用于 Thing Description 的分发。 

WoT Discovery can be applied both within a local-area network (LAN), and at scale across the entire internet. It can also be used for both self-describing IoT devices and externally described devices. A searchable Thing Description Directory service is defined supporting semantic search.WoT Discovery 既可在局域网（LAN）内部署，也可在整个互联网上大规模应用。它也可同时用于自描述 IoT 设备和外部描述设备。其中定义了支持语义搜索的可搜索 Thing Description Directory 服务。

Widely adopted and supported获得广泛采用与支持

Many software packages and open-source projects now support WoT, including tools for Thing Description validation and construction as well as support for Thing runtimes and Thing Description directories supporting discovery.许多软件包和开源项目现已支持 WoT，包括 Thing Description 验证和构建工具，以及对支持发现的 Thing 运行时和 Thing Description 目录的支持。

Market adoption of the Web of Things is gaining momentum, with notable products such as SayWoT! and Desigo CC from Siemens and the Building Communication System from Takenaka. Interesting products from startups are also appearing like MONAS and Agorà from VAIMEE for creating digital twins of cast-resin transformers, and in the agricultural domain for crops and terrains; and Krellian Cloud, which provides real-time data analytics for smart buildings. Additionally, the Web of Things has either been adopted or is under consideration for adoption by several standards organizations, including ECHONET, Conexxus, the OPC Foundation (OPC UA Web-of-Things Connectivity), IPA Digital Architecture Design Center, and Industrial Digital Twin Association (Asset Interfaces Description).Web of Things 的市场采用势头正劲，知名产品包括 Siemens 的 SayWoT! 和 Desigo CC，以及 Takenaka 的 Building Communication System。初创公司也在推出引人关注的产品，例如 VAIMEE 的 MONAS 和 Agorà，可用于创建树脂浇注式变压器的数字孪生，并在农业领域用于作物和地形；还有 Krellian Cloud，为智能建筑提供实时数据分析。此外，Web of Things 已被若干标准组织采用，或正被考虑采用，包括 ECHONET、Conexxus、OPC Foundation（OPC UA Web-of-Things Connectivity）、IPA Digital Architecture Design Center 和 Industrial Digital Twin Association（Asset Interfaces Description）。

The growing WoT user community is supported by multiple WoT Community Groups, which hold regular meetings to share information on WoT and its applications in both English and Japanese.不断壮大的 WoT 用户社区得到多个 WoT 社区组的支持，这些小组定期举行会议，以英语和日语分享 WoT 及其应用的相关信息。

OPC Foundation • SIFIS-Home Consortium

OPC Foundation

"The OPC Foundation welcomes the new releases of the W3C Web of Things. Current OPC Foundation group activities are working on a solution how WoT Thing Descriptions can be used as a data model mapping service from non-OPC UA asset interfaces to OPC UA systems. This reduces the onboarding effort (e.g. of Modbus-based assets) and enables smooth use of asset data interfaces in the OPC UA address space. We see this as a big win for the manufacturing industry and another important step towards improving the interoperability of heterogeneous asset landscapes." “OPC Foundation 欢迎 W3C Web of Things 新版本发布。OPC Foundation 当前的工作组活动正在研究一套方案，探讨如何将 WoT Thing Description 用作数据模型映射服务，把非 OPC UA 资产接口映射到 OPC UA 系统。这减少了接入工作量（例如基于 Modbus 的资产），并支持在 OPC UA 地址空间中顺畅使用资产数据接口。我们认为这对制造业是一项重大利好，也是朝着改善异构资产环境互操作性迈出的又一重要步骤。”
