Abstract
While the number of things present in the Web grows, the ability of discovering such things in order to successfully interact with them becomes a challenge, mainly due to heterogeneity. The contribution of this paper is two-fold. First, an ontology-based approach to leverage web things discovery that is transparent to the syntax, protocols and formats used in things interfaces is described. Second, a semantic model for describing web things and how to extract and understand the relevant information for discovery is proposed.
