(Social Networks)
Improving daily life
of people and businesses
(Smart X)
We are in front of a new Digital revolution which will transform the daily
life of people and businesses: everything that can be connected will be
connected, for the sake of a more smart life

The new Digital Life will gravitate around context data. Context
data which describes what is going on, where, when, why …

FIWARE: The Open Source platform of choice for
building smart solutions
Smart Solutions gather data from many different sources (including
but not limited to IoT) to build a “picture” of the real world and then
process and analyze that information in order to implement the
desired intelligent behavior (which may imply changing the real world)
Data =
Context Information

11. 10
What if ...
for accessing
context information?
a standard API
there were

Users will enjoy portable solutions

13. 12
Context Broker
Standard API
GET <Oauth token>
/V1/contextEntities/lamp1/attributes/presenceSensor
Reading the value
provided by a sensor
should be as easy as
reading an attribute of
an entity
“I don’t care what
low-level IoT protocol
is used”
“I should not need to
handle connectivity
with IoT devices”
IoT would be an enabler, no barriers because of
complexity

14. Actuation on a device
should come as a side
effect derived from
updating the attribute
of an entity
PUT <Oauth token>
/V1/contextEntities/lamp1/attributes/status “light on”
IoT would be an enabler, no barriers because of
complexity

Standard API
“I don’t care what

“I should not need to

15. Shared context information would boost innovative services
and the development of a Data Economy
§ Organizations in different domains could
interchange data based on a common Context
Information Management layer
§ Authorization and Access Control Policies govern
who can access what, when (Sovereign of Data)
§ Organizations may monetize the data they offer
(Economy of Data)

“We can invest on
development of
solutions we don’t
have to adapt for each
and every customer”

17. FIWARE: Driving the standard for Context Information
Management
§ FIWARE NGSI is a simple yet powerful public, royalty-free standard API for Context
Information Management
§ A RESTful API using JSON so any web/backend programmer gets quickly used to it
§ Yet powerful: FIWARE NGSI supports geo-queries, soon Linked Data (JSON-LD)

18. 17
The GSMA has published
a Reference Architecture
for IoT Big Data
Ecosystem which
recommends to mobile
operators
FIWARE NGSIv2 should
be supported by
implementers delivering
the IoT Big Data
ecosystem
TM Forum, the global
industry association for
digital business, is working
with FIWARE to deliver the
key building blocks for
enabling and connecting
Smart City ecosystems.
TM Forum is supporting
the FIWARE NGSI APIs for
real-time access to context
information in cities.
ETSI has announced the
creation of a new Industry
Specification Group on
cross-sector Context
Information Management
(ISG CIM) for smart cities
applications and beyond.
FIWARE NGSIv2 is the
starting point for the CIM
API to be specified
FIWARE: driving the standards for Context Information Management

19. Integration with sensor networks
§ FIWARE NGSI is capable to deal with the wide variety of IoT protocols today
§ Rather than trying to solve the battle of standards at IoT level, it brings a standard where no
standard exists today: context information management

§ Share your dashboards with specific users or make
them public. Moreover, your can embed your
dashboards on third-party web pages
23

25. Cosmos BigData
§ The Cosmos BigData Analysis GE is intended to bring
tools enabling analysis of both batch and stream context
information
§ Batch analysis relies on Hadoop (which may be based
on OpenStack’s Sahara or be a customized Hadoop
deployment) and Cosmos brings some added features:
§ User Accounts Management
§ OAuth2 authorization and access control support
§ REST APIs for MapReduce jobs submission and
management
§ Stream analysis relies on Storm and Cosmos brings an
intuitive graphical interface for:

27. Extended CKAN and Data/API BIZ Framework
§ CKAN is a data management platform that makes
data accessible by enabling the publication,
search, and consumption of datasets
§ CKAN is probably the most widely open data
publication platform used today
§ CKAN extensions has been developed in FIWARE
to enable:
§ Managing NGSI API queries as “dynamic” datasets
§ Assignment of Access Rights Policies to datasets
§ Managing Access Rights acquisition
§ Binding pricing to datasets (acquisition and access)
§ FIWARE Biz Framework components rely on

FIWARE meet the requirements of the
Industrial Data Space initiative

44. FIWARE case example: enriching car navigation through front-runner
smart cities using third-party data
43
• Car navigators can display context information
about available parking slots published by
cities or other data from third parties it has
acquired the right to access to
• The car can share speed info with the city if the
drivers agree and both get something in return
City of Santander
City of Porto
• Users can receive recommendations from
smart home systems (“do you want me to
switch on the heat before you arrive?”)
• Users may have paid for apps developed
around data and recommendations used
from the car (discount restaurants around)

But we are not
creating just
technology ….
… but a sustainable
