  The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technological topic with a very important
societal impact. IoT application domains are various and include: smart cities,
precision farming, smart factories, and smart buildings. The diversity of these
application domains is the source of the very high technological heterogeneity
in the IoT, leading to interoperability issues. The semantic web principles and
technologies are more and more adopted as a solution to these interoperability
issues, leading to the emergence of a new domain, the Semantic Web Of Things
(SWoT). Scientific contributions to the SWoT are many, and the diversity of
architectures in which they are expressed complicates comparison. To unify the
presented architectures, we propose an architectural pattern, LMU-N. LMU-N
provides a reading grid used to classify processes to which the SWoT community
contributes, and to describe how the semantic web impacts the IoT. Then, the
evolutions of the semantic web to adapt to the IoT constraints are described as
well, in order to give a twofold view of the convergence between the IoT and
the semantic web toward the SWoT.
