This is a WoT WG WebConf and underlies the W3C Patent Policy

The WoT Scripting API task force is responsible for specifying an application programming interface (API) representing the WoT Interface that allows scripts to discover, operate Things and expose locally defined Things characterized by WoT Interactions.

Scripting is an optional building block in WoT and it is typically used in gateways or browsers that are able to run a WoT Runtime and script management, providing a convenient way to define the behavior of exposed Things, extend WoT support to new types of endpoints and implement WoT applications.
