Logilab and Siemens collaborated on the implementation of a Thing Description Directory based on a SPARQL endpoint. The Thing Description (TD), as standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), is a JSON-LD based document comprising information about connectivity, security, and semantics of Internet of Things devices or services. TDs represent RDF triples using a defined ontology and JSON-LD context. A Thing Description Directory (TDD) is a standardized endpoint in which we can store, update and retrieve TDs. A TDD based on a SPARQL endpoint is the best way to get the most out of the potential of Semantic Web technologies combined with Thing Descriptions. This article presents SparTDD, an implementation of a SPARQL-based TDD and its future applications in the industrial digital twin context.
