Updating definition of Thing #77

Closed akeranen closed 1 month ago

akeranen commented 3 months ago

Current definition of "Thing" in the RESTful IoT draft is:

Thing: A physical item that is made available in the Internet of Things, thereby enabling digital interaction with the physical world for humans, services, and/or other Things.

During the drafting of the SDF specification, it was noted that this definition is rather circular ("Thing" in "IoT") and would be better as

A physical item that is also available for interaction over a network

Suggest to update the definition in this draft accordingly.
