Nice analogy, Philippe!

Tout à fait d'accord avec Philippe, d'autant plus que de nombreux autres aspects devraient être pris en compte, dans le cadre d'une gestion d'identité fédérée qui permettrait notamment d'adjoindre des données relatives à l'assurance du bien, à sa garantie, à sa maintenance, à son cycle de vie, à son recyclage, etc...

Some thoughts on the “Internet of Things” or so-called “Web 3.0” - Philippe GAUTIER

I've tried to do so but moderators did not allow me.
One converging clue is that methods and approaches to address both are more or less the same (not talking about RFID or other hardware stuff). I'm mainly talking about conception, architectures and organization. It will need both autonomy in decision making at subsidiary levels and intelligence to share and exchange in many different contexts (semantic approaches VS syntaxic).

Governance in the Internet of Things - pgautier

Are human bodies still control what happens ?
Considering the current crisis, I'm not sure...

That's the point : we put in place many different information systems; all connected together, but shaped in a wrong way.
Methods of conception are still deterministic, process-based according to approaches and concepts that have been raised during the industrial era.
We therefore created a wide Information complex system (to address the "information era") with an inadequate basement.
See also : www.volle.com (in French).
Wrong tools for new challenges/stakes : The output is the current chaos.
As long as we will not change our approaches, we will experiment such tremendous adjustments : what we are experiencing today is a reducing of the gap between "reality and virtuality".
Entering in the "Information era" with no more similar accidents means "changing" the way we organize, conceive, develop, etc.
Regarding previous experiences (and particularily "discrepancy between complexity / goals"), I do agree with you but the point is "what methods to use".
From that point of view, standards are definitely not the solution : One size does not fits all and intelligent objects should be capable to be auto-referenced since thay can auto-organize.
Best regards,
Philippe
PS : H2O was just here to illustrate...

Actually, this looks interesting, but may not be desirable. Do you really want to put uncontrolled intelligence in systems and allow them to share many things without human bodies controlling what happens ?

For your information, actually IIRC water is much less (and not more) than H2+1/2 O2, it is (only) the residual product of the combustion of hydrogen. So the energy is gone, and it is (arguably) the most important component.

Another view from my experience : back in 1996-1998, "autonomous" or "intelligent" agents were hype. Using the precursor of SOA (Corba), software entities would be able to migrate themselves instead of sending messages. But all the initiatives (including standardisation in FIPA) failed because of the discrepancy between the complexity and the goals.

Use of “semantic approaches” : for a switch from existing EDI to « Any-to-Any communication » in the Internet of Things (and extending the current “semantic web”) - Ton van Rheenen

Hi,
I read your insights with interest. I've started a little private project under the heading Work 4.0: How will we work (in Western Europe) in, say 2012-2015, when al the work in mass production and mass services have disappeared to other countries? I am primarily looking to knowledge management issues and the web. Can you comment on work in the age of the internet of things: what will the working environment of the individual knowledge worker look like? What must companies do to work together with these (teams of) individual knowledge workers? How do these knowlegde workers work together?

Il faudrait vulgariser un peu si vous voulez que le commun des mortels y comprenne votre démarche.

If Web 3.0 will really be about IoT, I think this should be mentionned somewhere on the WIkipedia page on that topic:
