万维物联网工作组更新标准化章程：为物联网互操作性注入新动能

2026年9月14日，万维物联网工作组（Web of Things简称WoT）更新了标准化章程，并公布了未来两年的工作计划。该工作组计划进一步提升物联网（IoT）互操作性，并应对物理AI领域的新兴用例。

WoT通过提供构建模块，实现设备与服务在物联网生态系统中的无缝集成，从而化解物联网碎片化难题。在智能建筑、工业自动化、能源管理等各领域，WoT打破专有孤岛，大幅降低集成工作量。通过在设备层添加元数据，各层级语义数据质量得以提升，从而减少下游的人工干预需求。

WoT借鉴Web的架构理念与技术——Web为互联网构建了互操作性层——并将其应用于物联网领域。它并非提出新标准或新协议来取代现有标准，而是创建一个抽象层，使不同协议和标准能够协同工作。这使WoT得以在众多领域实现生产部署，并推动其他标准开发组织将其作为基础构建模块加以采用。

小组的新章程吸纳了采用者的众多需求，以及WoT社区定期举办的Plugfest（互操作性测试活动）实践中所积累的洞察。因此，新章程重点聚焦于增强物描述（Thing Description）标准的表达能力。此外，将引入新的协议绑定，并配套建立受支持协议的注册表。

该工作组还将编写基于WoT的应用开发指南，涵盖最佳实践、工具和示例，其中包括说明AI智能体如何借助物描述（Thing Description）所描述的设备，发现物理世界、安全感知并采取行动。这些资源将通过WoT网站和社交媒体渠道发布，并在Plugfest（互操作性测试活动）中进一步验证。

该工作组将于2026年10月26日至30日在爱尔兰都柏林举行的W3C TPAC 2026大会期间召开小组面对面会议。除为期三天的Plugfest（互操作性测试活动）外，日程还安排有与其他W3C工作组的联合讨论及常规标准化会议。详见WoT活动安排。

欢迎在都柏林与WoT工作组及社区面对面交流，也可通过多种线上渠道参与，例如由WoT社区组托管的Discord服务器。此外，2027年1月14日至15日在中国深圳举办的WoT万维物联网开放研讨会暨互操作性测试大会将带来类似体验，届时将有众多地方组织积极参与。

欢迎加入WoT工作组与WoT社区组参与相关讨论。

Conexxus

Conexxus, the preeminent provider of interface standards for the convenience retail industry, is using W3C Web of Things (WoT) technology to close the gap between cloud services and in-store devices. In addition to cloud services, convenience retailers must connect to a growing number of local devices, such as food-service equipment, coolers and freezers, electronic shelf labels, digital signage, environmental controls, lighting, and pickup lockers. WoT provides a common, machine-readable way to describe what a device can do, which helps Conexxus build the device standards its retailers need.

Siemens

Siemens supports the Web of Things standards and sees them as a strategic priority. It enables us to serve our customers with integrating efficient diverse data sources from a variety of device systems. Today, it is used across on premise and cloud building management systems, as well as our ONE Connectivity solution that provides device connectivity to numerous products. With IoT data often being siloed, the level of transparency created by WoT is a game-changer for an industry seeking to optimize operations and meet sustainability targets.

Microsoft

We continue to invest in WoT technology with our active participation and contributions to the working group and have also started integrating it into our products, such as Azure IoT Operations. We also continue to support the need for cooperation and coordination with other consortia and the broader IoT ecosystem and this is why we actively chair both the WoT-Connectivity and WoT-Binding working groups within the OPC Foundation. Finally, to accelerate adoption, we continue to contribute to the open-source .Net Standard OPC UA reference stack and of course the UA Edge Translator industrial connectivity solution, both on GitHub and both deeply integrate WoT technology today.
