ABSTRACT
The current Internet of Things (IoT) has made it very convenient to obtain information about a product from a single data node. However, in many industrial applications, information about a single product can be distributed in multiple different data nodes, and aggregating the information from these nodes has become a common task. In this chapter, we provide a distributed service-oriented architecture for this task. In this architecture, each manufacturer provides service for its own products, and data nodes keep the information collected themselves. Semantic technologies are adopted to handle problems of heterogeneity and serve as the foundation to support different applications. Finally, as an example, we illustrate the use of this architecture to solve the problem of product tracing.
