<p class="mission">The <strong>mission</strong> of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/">Web of Things Interest Group</a> is to counter the fragmentation of the Internet of Things by introducing a Web-based abstraction layer spanning existing Internet of Things platforms and complementing available standards. We seek to reduce costs through the global reach of Web standards, to enable open markets of services, and to unleash the power of the network effect. As a W3C Interest Group, we are seeking to build a shared understanding of the Web of Things, and to identify opportunities for initiating standards track work within W3C working groups. Industry alliances and standards development organizations are seeking to collaborate with W3C in two critical areas: semantic interoperability and end-to-end security across different platforms.</p>
