Abstract

We introduce the Internet of Data Apps (IoDA), representing the next natural progression of the Internet, Big Data, AI, and the Internet of Things. Despite advancements in these fields, the full potential of universal data access - the capability to seamlessly consume and contribute data via data applications - remains stifled by organizational and technological silos. To address these constraints, we propose the designs of an IoDA layer borrowing inspirations from the standard Internet protocols. This layer facilitates the interconnection of data applications across different devices and domains. This short paper serves as an invitation to dialogue over this proposal.
