In a broader sense, IoT cannot be just a global EPC system
in which the only objects are RFIDs; they are just a
part of the full story! And the same holds for the alternative
Unique/Universal/Ubiquitous IDentifier (uID) architecture
[6], whose main idea is still the development of
(middleware based) solutions for a global visibility of objects
in an IoT vision. It is the authors’ opinion that, starting
from RFID centric solutions may be positive as the main aspects
stressed by RFID technology, namely item traceability
and addressability, shall definitely be addressed also
by the IoT. Notwithstanding, alternative, and somehow
more complete, IoT visions recognize that the term IoT implies
a much wider vision than the idea of a mere objects
identification.
