Abstract
Web of Objects uses a semantic ontology to create and provide knowledge-based Internet of Things services in terms of virtual objects and composite virtual objects. The objects are created through virtualization with the use of semantic ontology to form the virtual objects, where multiple virtual objects are combined to form the composite virtual objects to offer the services. Beacon-enabled Web of Objects is the extension of the existing web that allows the beacon to broadcast the uniform resource identifier of the real-world object to the nearer mobile devices. Based on the user selection and request, the service is handled and offered by the Web of Objects platform; thus, an architecture on the beacon-enabled Web of Objects has been proposed in this article. To offer the knowledge-based services, a knowledge creation model has been presented. To realize the knowledge-based service features on the proposed architecture, a use case scenario has been presented and a conceptual semantic ontology model has been designed. Finally, to assess the features, a prototype has been implemented and demonstrated on the use case scenario.

In the beacon-enabled Web of Objects (WoO) platform, a beacon is used to broadcast the URI of the real-world object to the nearer mobile device through a standard protocol, once user taps on a link of the object, all the processes starting from the service request analysis till the service execution are handled in the WoO platform
Summary
It is a new trend to provide an intelligent brain in Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem to create knowledge and analytics to invoke decisions, actions, and business outcomes. To describe the beacon-enabled WoO platform, this article focuses on the following issues: How a beacon will be used for the identification of the real-world objects in the platform; How and why the object will be virtualized in the web environment; How the knowledge-based service will be offered in terms of composite virtual object (CVO) in the WoO; How the knowledge will be created about the available objects. Focusing on these issues, the proposed architecture supports advertisement of available objects and hides the complexity of the virtual object (VO) in the distributed application domain.
