Intellectual Property Rights
IPRs essential or potentially essential to the present document may have been declared to ETSI. The information
pertaining to these essential IPRs, if any, is publicly available for ETSI members and non-members, and can be found
in ETSI SR 000 314: "Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); Essential, or potentially Essential, IPRs notified to ETSI in
respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the ETSI Web
server (https://ipr.etsi.org/).
Pursuant to the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation, including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee

1 Scope
The present document contains the specification of the oneM2M base ontology. A formal OWL representation of the
base ontology can be found at http://www.onem2m.org/ontology/Base_Ontology.
The present document also specifies an instantiation of the base ontology in oneM2M resources which is required for
generic interworking.
In addition the present document contains the functional specification for an Interworking Proxy Application Entity
(IPE), the oneM2M resources and their usage for generic interworking.
Finally an example is given how external ontologies can be mapped to the base ontology. The example uses the Smart
Appliances REFerence (SAREF) ontology (http://ontology.tno.nl/saref).
