Yet another buzzword like IoT, or a "real deal"?
Often, "de-facto" standards are better then "official", but it can go both ways...
Spatial Web: Transforming Device Interactions - IEEE Spectrum
"When it was invented in 1991, the World Wide Web connected an Internet that was overrun with many thousands of individual, fragmented digital documents. HTML, Hypertext Markup Language, represented a daring leap. It combined the age-old idea of hypertext with the Internet’s global reach. Tim Berners-Lee’s new language offered up a lingua franca for interconnected information.
Today, following the social media revolution, a new phase of the Internet is emerging. The Spatial Web promises to connect a physical world full of devices, phones, wearables, robots, drones, and even AI agents. In May, the IEEE Standards Association ratified a set of standards (IEEE 2874-2025) that defines the Spatial Web.
And the UDG (Universal Domain Graph) acts as the directory that keeps track of every entity along with its activities and relationships."
