The document summarizes FIWARE, an open source platform for managing context information through open APIs. It discusses FIWARE's role in standardizing context information management for smart cities on a global scale. Over 140 cities in 26 countries use FIWARE, which has memorandums of understanding with organizations in Korea and Thailand to collaborate on smart city technologies and standards. The advantages of FIWARE for smart services include its free and open source software maintained by developers, and use of standard, public, and royalty-free data models and APIs to avoid vendor lock-in.

This is FIWARE!
•A framework of open source platform
components and standards to access and
manage heterogeneous context
information through open APIs
•A standard for exchange of context
information: FIWARE-NGSI (Next
Generation Service Interface)
•Generic Enablers and Solutions to
provide Smart Services with the FIWARE
Context Broker as main component

FIWARE: Standardization for Smart Cities on a global scale
ETSI published on January
24th, 2019 “NGSI-LD” the
new Context Information
Management Standard API.
The rationale is to reinforce
the fact that this specification
leverages on the … FIWARE
NGSIv2 to incorporate the
latest advances from Linked
Data.
FIWARE Context Broker
Technology has been chosen in
2018 as new CEF (Connecting
Europe Facility) Building Block by
all European member states.
Existing CEF Building Blocks so
far:
• eDelivery
• eInvoicing
• eID
• eSignature
• eTranslation.
Joint Collaboration Program:
Front-runner Smart Cities
• to support the adoption of a
reference architecture and
compatible common data models
• Using FIWARE NGSI and TM
Forum Open APIs
• Smart City Common Data Models
will be public and royalty-free
• Initial cities: Vienna, Nice, Genoa,
Utrecht, Porto, Santander,

The Advantages of an Open Source Platform Standards like
FIWARE for Smart Services
▪ The basic software (Architecture and Generic Enablers) is available for
everyone, for free, forever
▪ A large open source developers community is maintaining and further
developing the basic software components
▪ A large group of global corporate companies as well as start ups are
providing smart solutions and smart services based on FIWARE technology
▪ Lowest cost of ownership for the end users / cities
▪ Standard, public, and royalty free data models and open APIs are avoiding a
’vendor-lock-in-effect‘
