Embedding Semantic Product Memories in the web of things

Today, RFID is used to identify a wide range of work pieces or individual products for tracking their movements through the logistics chain. For future purposes the idea of storing only a single ID must be extended to a Product Memory. This memory stores data of the complete product life cycle. This paper introduces an architecture and an implementation for integrating data in product memories. Our contribution encompasses software modules for a uniform sensor access, a sensor data ontology and web interfaces for product memory applications.
