In the last years, several attempts to combine the Internet of Things (IoT) and social networking have been made. In the meantime, things involved in IoT are becoming increasingly sophisticated and intelligent, showing a behavior that tends to look like the one of users in social networks. Therefore, it is not out of place to talk about profiles of things and about information and topics exchanged among them. In such a context, constructing topic-driven virtual communities starting from the real ones operating in a Multi-IoT scenario is an extremely challenging issue. This paper aims at providing some contributions in this setting. First of all, it presents the concept of profile of a thing. Then, it introduces the concept of topic-guided virtual IoT. Finally, it illustrates two approaches (one supervised and one unsupervised) to constructing topic-guided virtual IoTs in a Multi-IoT scenario.
在过去几年里，人们多次尝试将物联网（IoT）与社交网络相结合。与此同时，物联网所涉及的事物正变得越来越复杂和智能，展现出一种类似于社交网络中用户的行为。因此，谈论事物的概况以及它们之间交换的信息和话题是恰当的。在这样的背景下，从多物联网场景中运行的真实社区构建主题驱动的虚拟社区是一个极具挑战性的问题。本文旨在在这方面做出一些贡献。首先，它提出了事物概况的概念。然后，介绍了主题引导的虚拟物联网的概念。最后，阐述了在多物联网场景中构建主题引导的虚拟物联网的两种方法（一种是有监督的，一种是无监督的）。
