The WoT Profiles task force is responsible for interoperability profiles for the Web of Things

Normative Deliverable


WoT Profiles

The WoT Profiles Specification defines a Profiling Mechanism and a set of WoT Profiles which enables out of the box interoperability among things and devices. Out of the box interoperability implies that devices can be integrated into various application scenarios without deep level adaptations. Typically only minor configuration operations are necessary (such as entering a network key or IP address) to use the device in a certain scenario. These actions can be done by anyone without specific training.
