15. Digital Object Architecture
Connecting devices to devices? … think about connecting information to information
ITU-T X.1255 “Framework for discovery of identity management (IDM) information”
Interoperability of heterogeneous IDM systems (RFID, MAC ADDRESS, IMEI, BAR CODES, IPV6 etc.)
Interoperability of information from objects from different Sectors (e.g. cars, food, devices)
Unique identity provided by “persistent identifiers”
(Handle  prefix/suffix )
Global resolution system (Handle System)
Improve end cycles of devices (E-waste)
Help to combat counterfeiting of goods
Bob Kahn

16. IoT Applications Some examples
Smart cities: more digitalised and intelligent cities
Smart factory: IoT will provide automatic procedures
Smart Energy: The key issue is to detect ways to save energy.
Smart Energy: The key issue is to detect ways to save energy. The IoT will benefit in the following ways:
Customers will have greater control over their energy or water consumption.
IoT deployment of for smart meters is expected to reduce the need for building power plants.

22. SG20: IoT and applications, smart cities
SG20 will develop standards and guidelines that leverage IoT technologies to address urban-development challenges.
Key work will include, inter alia:
The standardization of end-to-end architectures for IoT and mechanisms for the interoperability of IoT applications and datasets employed by various vertically oriented industry sectors.
First Meeting:
When & Where: October 2015, ITU, Geneva

23. Forum on Internet of Things: Empowering the New Urban Agenda
This forum will provide a platform to discuss why the Internet of Things will be at the heart of smart city transformation. When: Monday 19 October 2015 Venue: ITU Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland

24. Collaboration Proposal with
Adopt a similar approach to 3GPP collaboration with ITU
oneM2M designates a common member to input oneM2M specifications to ITU-T SG20 as a Contribution
ITU-T SG20 considers the Contribution and goes through the normal approval process of an ITU-T Recommendation
Once approved, TSB Publishes the ITU-T Recommendation
ITU-T SGs build on the resulting ITU-T Recommendations
