Internet of things management through self-describing objects

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying program code for self-described object management that, when executed by a computing device, directs the computing device to at least:

• onboard an internet of things (IoT) object with an IoT management system;
• query, by the IoT management system, the IoT object for a self-describing declaration from the IoT object;
• receive, by the IoT management system, the self-describing declaration from the IoT object;
• parse the self-describing declaration from the IoT object to determine at least one operability parameter of the IoT object;
• and
• establish an interoperability framework between the IoT management system and the IoT object based on the at least one operability parameter of the IoT object.

A computing device for self-described object management, comprising:

• a memory device configured to store computer-readable instructions thereon;
• and
• at least one processing device configured, through execution of the computer-readable instructions, to direct the computing device to at least:
• onboard an internet of things (IoT) object with an IoT management system;
• query, by the IoT management system, the IoT object for a self-describing declaration from the IoT object;
• receive, by the IoT management system, the self-describing declaration from the IoT object;
• parse the self-describing declaration from the IoT object to determine at least one operability parameter of the IoT object;
• and
• establish an interoperability framework between the IoT management system and the IoT object based on the at least one operability parameter of the IoT object.
