USE-CASES

Basic Flow of Use Case Submission

This directory contains the use cases for the next revisions of the WoT specifications.

How to submit use cases

1. Please describe new use cases useing the Markdown template HTML template. (The HTML template is preferred.)
2. Please submit your use cases to this directory using Pull Request.

After approval by the Use Cases TF

1. Use cases that have been reviewed and approved for inclusion in the IG note are moved to https://github.com/w3c/wot-usecases/tree/master/USE-CASES/processed for archival purposes.

Terminology

We use common terminology across the use cases to make sure everybody has the same understanding and the descriptions match when we combine the use case in a single document.

Please avoid domain specific terminology, e.g. don't use MNO, telco. Better use network operator instead.

Stakeholders and actors

• device owners
• device user
• cloud provider
• service provider
• device manufacturer
• gateway manufacturer
• network operator (potentially transparent for WoT use cases)
