Why ID for Objects?
When everything had to be offline, people only needed names and social id numbers. However, with the
emergence of the Internet, we came to need an online identification, which naturally served with emails now.

Why ID for Objects?
The Internet of Things means that objects are online. Objects only required product names and serial numbers,
but in the era of Internet of Things, objects also will need online identification.

Internet of Things
Some researches show that 200 billion objects are expected to be on the Internet by 2020, and the whole
market will grow to more than $1 trillion. The clear and reasonable online object ID is surely needed.

Issue 1 : Dispersed IoT
There are a lot of IoT companies and Alliances. Since these all insist to use different formats for the IoT
communication, the issue of compatibility is an imminent problem.

Issue 2 : ID vs Address
There are 3 big IoT alliances. AllSeen Alliance, Open Connectivity Foundation, The Physical Web. All three
alliances use a scheme that is similar to the http address.

Http = Address

However, http-like address scheme has its limitation: If data is moved to another directory of the server, the
whole address has to change.

IoT
Object online IDs are related to device operations and purchases, so it should not be changeable due to
security reasons.

lg.com homeBigIoT

Fridge1 # lg.com
ePosition = ID
This is why ID scheme is more suitable than http-like directory address scheme.

Issue 3 : Confusability
It will be tough for end-users to distinguish object IDs from regular websites since they are the same in format.

Issue 3 : Confusability
Users can easily recognize ePosition as an object ID at a glance.
