Comments
Location Physical Entity Location is not modelled explicitly in the
IoT Domain Model. However, a specific
(possibly tagged) place can be regarded
as a Physical Entity.
uCR model Relates to Information
Model
uCR can be used for representing IoT-A
Information Model instances
ucode No direct relation The ucode can be used as an globally
unique identifier for any instance of the
IoT-A RM concept
ucode resolution
gateway
Network-based
Resource
Provides a ucode resolution over HTTP
ucode signature
server
Network-based
Resource
Prevents ucode counterfeiting by verifying
and generating signatures
ucode management
server
Network-based
Resource
Manages the allocated ucode space
ucode issue
gateway
Network-based
Resource
Provides a HTTP interface for obtaining
ucode issued by ucode management
server
ucode entry update
gateway
Network-based
Resource
Provides a HTTP interface for updating

Resource / Service
The Resource would be exposed through
a resolution service.
Application
Information Service
Service Provides infrastructure and application
services
ucode Tag Tag
User Terminal (Device) Is a device that reads ucodes and provides
services based on the ucode to a user. A
user terminal that is just used to run an
application or display some information is
not in the scope of the IoT Domain Model.
However, a user terminal containing a
reader is in the terms of the IoT Domain
Model a Device with an embedded Sensor
Device.

In turn, the reverse mapping produced the following UML (see Figure 108 )
