However, most industrial practitioners are not familiar with these technologies and are not willing to learn them, as they believe the learning curve is too steep. IoT developers - whether device manufacturers or application developers - ask for rather simple ontologies that are easy to use, and clear guidelines on how to implement semantic web/ linked data solutions, possibly supported by standards development organizations (SDOs), whereas the information they can currently find on the Internet is overwhelming and perceived as not directly applicable. As we have often heard from industrial stakeholders in the past years, there is a clear need to bring semantic technology out of the research labs - where it has been successful so far - to be adopted and applied in operational environments by the IoT industry.</span><span lang="EN-US" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">The main objective of this workshop is to bring SDOs and industrial practitioners in IoT with an interest in semantic interoperability together with the strong and successful research community at SEMANTiCS 2017 to discuss current trends and challenges in Semantic Interoperability and Standardization in IoT.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">WORKSHOP STYLE</span><span lang="EN-US" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">The workshop will be a combination of presentations on existing standardization activities on semantics and IoT (state of the art), e.g., SAREF activities in ETSI and oneM2M, and contributions from users on their on-going standardization and research developments on semantic interoperability in IoT (current progress beyond the state of the art), as basis for generating an interactive discussion and bring the collaboration between the research community and the industrial stakeholders a step further.
