To add: Mailperson method
A device carried by a drone or person that travels around picking up messages from nearby remotes, wirelessly or wired, and then does something with that message. This could even be a person taking an SD Card out of a Mote in the field, transferring the content to another drive, carrying it to a place with Internet access and then uploading it to a database.
This one doesn't cover the different ways a Device might connect to a Gateway, but I do think this is a vast improvement over my first draft.
This is also a start on how to describe how the IoT is broken. One example might be an example of three different devices, each would send data to their respective Gateway, each would have their own data service, each would be tied to their own App layer (iftt.com kind of an exception here making inroads with doing conditionals for things like the Belkin WeMo switch and Nest). We're solving the Pipe level so all three devices can be piped to the same database and message service... But that does not imply that there is a data layer we can pipe to that there is then an Analysis, Dashboard, and Conditionals App layer that integrates with it. The Data and Apps layer are quite disconnected at the moment. Lets say we wanted to use...
On the data layer... database: Phant at data.sparkfun.com Message service: Dweet.io
On the Apps layer... Analysis: Academic Soil Analysis model Dashboard: Freeboard.io Conditionals: iftt.com
The problems with that are...

So ya, let's make an Atlas so we don't confuse people like that. It might even help us in our own discussions amongst ourselves. Here's my chicken scratch with missing labels and probably a lot of missing other things, but it's a place to start!
Thoughts on pushing this forward, perhaps we transfer this chicken scratch into something more legible like this Google Drawing and then when we feel like we have it the Atlas fairly nailed down, someone with real art skillz like Don draws it by hand.
