Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection between the internet and objects, places and physical environments. These objects can exchange information and digital data between the real world and the Internet. The ubiquitous connectivity provided by the IoT requires integration between heterogeneous sensors, actuators, mobile phones, etc. Extending the IoT with Web Services Technology is a means to achieve interoperable communications between objects and makes it easy to integrate dynamic distributed processes. Accordingly, a phase of distant object identification is mandatory to ensure the association of semantics with these heterogeneous data through ontologies not only to facilitate their reuse but also to allow the implementation of reasoning mechanisms. The objective of this work is twofold. First, we propose an ontology that ensures the description of the IoT system. Second, we come up with a conceptual adaptation that makes this ontology extendable core-domain.

Keywords: IoT; design; adaptation; semantic; web service.
