If you have a specific system at hand you can say if it contains IoT or not because in the sum all IoT systems have some commonalities. But you cannot build a platform for it because the parts are so very different. The most common thing is that there are some programs that send data over a network which then is collected and analysed. The general purpose platform for that already exists and is called "internet". But as you might've guessed: we already have that.
