In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly and is being applied in a variety of industries including healthcare, smart homes, and smart cities. Many standard IoT platforms are proposed to connect and communicate with IoT devices easily and securely such as oneM2M, Google Weave and Apple HomeKit. However, this makes IoT application development difficult as it requires IoT devices and applications to support multiple protocols to connect different IoT platforms. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a consistent schema to support interoperability in heterogeneous IoT networks. In this paper, we propose how to design and implement interoperating schema between two edge servers oneM2M and Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) with heterogeneous IoT devices. Specifically, we build proxies for bridging oneM2M Mobius edge server and OCF IoTivity edge server. The sensor data is collected from various IoT devices and sent to an edge server with a compatible platform. Next, the data stored in each server will be exchanged with the other server through a proposed interworking proxy. We also use a rules engine to automatically identify registered devices to support edge server interaction within the same domain and across domains. In addition, we build a web application in each edge server to provide friendly IoT services (data visualization) to clients from different environments. In order to evaluate our system, we collect the delay time of each process in the edge servers. The results show that our proposal is completely applicable in practice.
