Smackdown: Internet of Things vs. Internet of Obje (Score 2, Interesting)

Good - It's been minutes since we had a pointless fight over standards.

A quick look at the Internet of Things docs yielded no mentions of the existing Internet of Objects effort. The MIT AutoID consortium, followed by the EPCGlobal organization, have defined an Object Name Service, ECPIS, and Discovery Services.

Defining an orthogonal standard will lead to our poor entities having existential angst over whether they are an "object" or a "thing".
