Disappointingly, I have been unable to attend the last several calls because of a work commitment.  And this is likely to continue for me for another month.

But I have reserved next week to attend IIW.  How many of you will be there?  Perhaps we can have a few sessions on this at IIW and gather thoughts from a wider population.

Thank you.

Jeff

Hi Paul & Andrew,

 

From my point of view we need a common understanding of the below mentioned “ group concept” in the identity of things field.

 

Another important issue is the pairing of things and pairing of things and user.

 

Looking forward on an interesting discussion next Thursday.

 

See you

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Viele Grüße / Best Regards

Paul,

 

I am missing the group concept in this graphic - why is electricity meter in the Group group? And why is that electricity meter is Itself while Nest "A User"


the meter is attached to the house - the data it collects represents the aggregated electricity use of those in the house, as opposed to an individual user. Of course, this can collapse ....

the distinction between the Nest and the meter is that the homeowner bought & installed the Nest - the electricity provider owns and manages the meter. While that provider may give the homeowner access to the data the meter collects, I'm sure the provider still feels that it owns that data

 

What seems to be missing in this graphic and the blog entries is the concept that both the Nest and the Electricity Mater are part of my house and I may prefer to think of them as part of a collection as opposed to individual items - or is that what the Group was trying to address

'group' refers to users, see above

I think grouping of things would be another axis. I can see it as important as a consent & management optimization (eg authorize all these lightbulbs I just screwed in ...)

Hi Benoit, thanks for reading :-)

I completely agree that some things will *not* act on behalf of a particular user (or different users, or a group) - things in factory floor, smart cities, etc

I've been thinking about a taxonomy that made this distinction, as well as who is the subject of the data that the thing collects and sends

enclosed is a graphic of my thinking so far

of course, a thing 'acting on behalf of itself' is meant to be shorthand for the thing acting on behalf of some other non human entity, e.g. company, city, government, etc

p.s. 'alien epidermal implant' is a joke :-)

Hello all,

Today, I read two interesting blog entries from Paul Madsen, wandering in the IoT world :

 - How objects interact: "OAuth for multi-thing coordination use cases" (see http://connectid.blogspot.fr/2013/10/oauth-for-multi-thing-coordination-use.html)

 - How objects impersonate their user: "Identities - Thing & User" (see http://connectid.blogspot.fr/2013/10/identities-thing-user.html)

The second one makes me wonder:
 - Must things inevitably act on behalf of a person?
 - What if an object is smart enough to have an identity, but not enough to act on behalf or to be associated with a human?

Regards,
