There's some interest in consolidating the capability schemas at webthings.io/schemas with those at iotschema.org so that multiple projects (e.g. WebThings, ThingWeb, openHAB and HomeAssistant) can eventually share a common standard ontology.
I think consolidating these schemas, and potentially migrating to iotschema.org over time, needs to be a multi-step process:
- Add support to WebThings Gateway for iotschema.org schemas of capabilities/properties/actions/events for which we already have a user interface design
- Propose iotschema.org schemas for the capabilities we currently implement in WebThings which don't have an equivalent at iotschema.org
- Optionally, design and implement user interfaces for iotschema.org capabilities for which we don't currently have an equivalent in WebThings
- If we're happy that the set of schemas at iotschema.org satisfy our needs, work towards deprecating support for webthings.io/schemas over time
