1. A method for generating a dynamic representational state of a thing, the method comprising: generating by a data management computing apparatus a plurality of instances of things, each of the instances of things comprising a dynamically generated interface structure and one or more services associated with and one or more properties of the corresponding one of the things; retrieving and providing by the data management computing apparatus the one or more services associated with and the one or more properties of one of the plurality of instances of things for a selected one of the plurality of instances of things; retrieving and providing by the data management computing apparatus a service definition for a selected one of the one or more services based on the retrieved and provided one or more services associated with and one or more properties for the selected one of the plurality of instances of things; executing by the data management computing apparatus a requested consumption call for the selected one of the services based on the retrieved service definition; and providing by the data management computing apparatus a defined result set for the executed consumption call in the dynamically generated interface structure associated with the requested one of the plurality of instances of things.
