- 7. • Cities needto deal with large wireless or wired network of sensors of diverse and multiple types • To enable services an horizontal approach is required where the IoE for Cities provides interconnect/collect/store/organize/share functions for Sensor Networks • A sensor abstraction model shall be provided to define a sensor/actuator, its capability, how to access data and notifications • Data from sensors with semantic should be stored in a repository, ideally the Linked Open Data store. Stored sensor data can be used for public or private use • Data mining and analytics are using sensor data • Standards such as Sensor Web Enablement (SWE from OGC) and SSN (W3C), Internet of Things (IoT), M2M should be used
- 8. • Besides simplesensors/actuators classified as embedded smart devices the city is also using a network of other more complex devices or machines: CCTV cameras, Digital Multimedia/Kiosk, etc. • These devices need also to be integrated in the IoE for Cities in an horizontal manner • A Machine Abstraction Model is required to enable Services Development and Deployment via the IoE for Cities • This model should allow to provide control/actuation functions across devices • Standards: the M2M standard (ETSI, oneM2M) , and Ontologies around IoT (e.g. Open IOT)

Editor's Notes
- #4 Typically, a business owner starts off by identifying the need for an API. Next, the business owner works with an architect to actually design the API means write API secs, they are communicated by the architect to the API development team that will implement the back-end of the API. With this approach, rather than implementing an application and then building the application pn top of it, business first creates the interface, and then the logic, whether it be cloud-based or on-premise. Once an API is designed, created and its back-end implemented, it’s time to find the runtime. Choosing a runtime is crucial as it affects how successful your API strategy will be in terms of service, liability, scale and ability to meet future needs. So what key capabilities should you look for in an API runtime? Hybrid support: deploy applications both in the cloud as well as on-premise without having to modify anything. Scalability, reliability, availability: Q: Data API are not identical to Application API ? You don’t want to own somebody’s data, Rights..etc Policies governance

Citizens : Greater citizen-centric services • Through better understanding of citizens’ needs and expectations, an anticipatory Government will be able to serve citizens better through better policy planning and creation of citizen-centric services. Empowerment At an individual level, the access to greater and meaningful information will enable citizens to make better decisions, be it for transport, health and other services. At a community level, the access to rich data and innovative products, suggestions and ideas can help to create actionable solutions that can benefit society as a whole.
