Abstract

This paper introduces the 'PnP Web Tag', a new approach to integrating Internet of Things (IoT) devices with the World Wide Web (WWW) in order to realize the 'Web of Things' (WoT). For the first time, the PnP tag provides web developers with an extremely easy and yet systematic way of including sensor data and actuator controls in their web pages. Our approach is fully standards compliant and can be used with all IoT devices that support the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) protocol and the IPSO Smart Object data model. Initial evaluation shows that the PnP tag is extremely low effort for web developers and performs well in representative IoT scenarios.
