Semantic Working Group Charter and Organization
Background:
The initial goal of the Smart Objects work in IPSO was focused on developing the Starter and the Expansion Packs to allow developers to re-use object definitions throughout various applications running on Internet of Things devices but also on the server-side infrastructure. The Starter Pack contains 18 Smart Objects and the Expansion Pack has 16 common template sensors, 6 special template sensors, 5 actuators and 6 control switch types.
The group will focus on accomplishing interoperability across different information models developed by IPSO and other organizations. It will attempt to do so by developing and promoting a “meta” information model that represents key inherent properties and relationships of the physical entities that are being modeled.

Key Tasks:
The group will perform this work in three mostly consecutive phases:
- Definition of architectural principles and design guidelines for constructing interoperable semantic data models
- Definition of meta-model for describing semantic properties for interoperability
- Mapping of meta-model to specific bindings, such as LWM2M (IPSO gen 1) and OIC
Organization:
- Co-chairs Michel Kohanim of Universal Devices and Milan Milenkovic of IoT Sense drive completion of current work items
- The Semantic Working Group meets every other Wednesday at 8 am US PT. Details are on the Wiki.
Technical Guidelines to be approved by TAB and BoD before publication.
The Semantic WG meets every other Thursday 08:00 US Pacific/17:00 CET.
