The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the hot topics in research and industry, and yet there seem to be very different ways in which the name can be interpreted, ranging from low-level connectivity issues up through all protocol layers. This talk makes the point that IoT today can be viewed like the Internet in its early days, which clearly was useful and growing, but needed the Web as the killer app to get to the growth and significance that define it today. In the same way as the Web allowed the Internet to break through previously existing barriers, the Web of Things (WoT) may be able to accomplish the same for IoT. By looking at some of the critical features that allowed the Web to succeed at levels previously impossible for the Internet, we may be able to predict some of the areas where WoT approaches may achieve the same for IoT scenarios.
