IoT

Standards in the catalog that belong to iot — 12 of them. A standard is listed here only when it is specific to this industry; the general-purpose ones it also relies on, like HTTP, OAuth and JSON Schema, deliberately carry no domain.

The same industry, as data models

9 data models define what information exists in iot, as opposed to the standards applied in API operations listed below. Same industry, two lenses.
