oneM2M Release 2 to include 'important' semantic interoperability features
oneM2M, the global standards initiative for M2M communications and the IoT, will release its next set of official specifications in Release 2 this autumn and will include "important" semantic interoperability features – according to its Technical Plenary chair, Omar Elloumi.
A key focus area of Release 2 will be solutions for dynamic security and authorisation. This has been included to address such use cases as the burden of manual configuration of security credentials on devices when there's a need to quickly deploy them.
Elloumi commented: “There are important features we are adding to our catalogue, in particular the features put in to [provide] semantic interoperability, because IoT is not a simple system, IoT is about application and device proliferation. If you don’t build the semantic capabilities, it’s going to be very hard to integrate once a number of devices and applications go up.
“However, we think semantics provides a very elegant manner to solve this integration problem… But it’s also about improved security, so we recognise that there’s no single security mechanism fits-all for all IoT applications. You have to provide a standards-based tool-box where you can mix and match the security tool according to your use case needs. If you have too much security you may end up having a costly solution and so you have to find the right mix between security requirements and the technology you put in place.
