TI  - Breaking Vendors and City Locks through a Semantic-enabled Global Interoperable 
      Internet-of-Things System: A Smart Parking Case.

AB  - The Internet of Things (IoT) is unanimously identified as one of the main 
      technology enablers for the development of future intelligent environments. 
      However, the current IoT landscape is suffering from large fragmentation with 
      many platforms and vendors competing with their own solution. This fragmented 
      scenario is now jeopardizing the uptake of the IoT, as investments are not 
      carried out partly because of the fear of being captured in lock-in situations. 
      To overcome these fears, interoperability solutions are being put forward in 
      order to guarantee that the deployed IoT infrastructure, independently of its 
      manufacturer and/or platform, can exchange information, data and knowledge in a 
      meaningful way. This paper presents a Global IoT Services (GIoTS) use case 
      demonstrating how semantic interoperability among five different smart city IoT 
      deployments can be leveraged to develop a smart urban mobility service. The 
      application that has been developed seamlessly consumes data from them for 
      providing parking guidance and mobility suggestions at the five locations 
      (Santander and Barcelona in Spain and Busan, Seoul and Seongnam in South Korea) 
      where the abovementioned IoT deployments are installed. The paper is also 
      presenting the key aspects of the system enabling the interoperability among the 
      three underlying heterogeneous IoT platforms.
