Materialising the Economy of Data requires providing a standard digital service infrastructure enabling different kind of organisations to publish, search and query for data in right time (contextual data). FIWARE brings a number of enablers for this purpose which cities around the world are increasingly adopting and are also being considered for building a first open source implementation of the Industrial Data Space architecture. By adopting FIWARE as de-facto standard and federating FIWARE Context Broker endpoints through which context information is published and consumed, Cities and Businesses, will be able to collaborate to create an open, distributed and neutral infrastructure enabling the Data Economy.

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

managing context information at large scale

6. FIWARE: What for (in Smart Cities)?
 Breaking vertical silos,
creating a Context
Information Management
layer which provides a
complete picture of what
is going on in the city
 Merging data from:
 vertical solutions
 IoT networks
 processing/analysis
 Bringing the enablers to
process and analyze
right-time and historic
contextual data at large
scale

7. Smart Cities: the journey

1 2 3
ENGINE OF GROWTH
• right-time context information
published to third parties
• open and monetizable data
enabling multi-side markets
• exchange of context info with
systems in other domains
• Vertical solutions (some
being IoT-enabled) bringing
efficiency in silos
• Historic data as open data
• Information still in vertical
silos, no globlal picture
EFFICIENT & OPEN
• Horizontal platform managing
“right-time” context info
• integrated information from
different vertical services
• Predictive and prescriptive
models
SMART

8. • Common APIs:
 FIWARE NGSI to start with
• Standard Data Models:
 CitySDK and more, collaboratively
• Platform for Open Data/API publication
• Driven by implementation approach
100+ cities
22 countries
FIWARE: why (in Smart Cities)?

FIWARE NGSI and Context Broker
Technology has been selected to
become a CEF (Connecting Europe
Facility) Building Block
FIWARE has been recognized as
major contributor for a shared
IoT-Enabled Smart City Framework.
The initiative is led by NIST

9. 8
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
FIWARE NGSI REST-based
APIs for real-time access to
contextual information for
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: why (in Smart Cities)?

10. Context Information Management: sharing info across
domains
 Process run by systems in different domains could interchange data based on a
common Context Information Management layer providing a standard API and the
support of shared Information Models
 Access Control Policies allow context information owners to govern who can access
what and when (Sovereign of Data)

13. FIWARE case example: car navigation through OASC cities
12
• Car navigators can display context
information about available parking slots
published by cities or other data from third
parties (shops, restaurants, …)
• The car can share speed info with the city if
the drivers agree
City of Santander
City of Porto • Users can receive recommendations from
smart home systems (“you are 30min
distance from home, do you want me to
switch on the heat given the fact that
today is a bit cold?”)
• Cars can publish preferences about
passengers and receive
recommendations (restaurants around)

16. 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
TM Forum Business Open APIs
