The document outlines the importance and advancements of FIWARE, an open-source platform aimed at supporting smart cities, industries, and agriculture by enabling the integration and management of data across silos. It highlights the adoption of FIWARE's NGSIv2 standard across various sectors and emphasizes collaboration with organizations like TM Forum for developing common data models. Additionally, it provides insight into FIWARE's architecture and future roadmap, focusing on advancements in context management, data publication, and emerging technologies such as AI and edge computing.

FIWARE Context Broker
has been announced on
Feb 5th, 2018 as a new
CEF (Connecting Europe
Facility) Building Block
Enabling public and private
sector solutions regarding
publication of right-time
data
ETSI Industry Specifica-
tion Group on cross-
sector Context
Information Management
(ISG CIM) published a
new SPEC on April 25th,
2018 which is based on
FIWARE NGSIv2.
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

6. Driving de-facto standards: Smart Cities
6
117 cities in 24 countries
All of them agree to foster
adoption of common
principles:
• Common API: FIWARE
NGSIv2
• Compatible Open Data
Publication platforms
• Collaboration in definition
of data models
TM Forum is working with
FIWARE to deliver the key
building blocks for enabling
and connecting Smart City
ecosystems
TM Forum is supporting
FIWARE NGSIv2 for real-time
access to context information
in cities

7. Driving de-facto standards: Smart Industry

At Hannover Messe 2018
FIWARE presented the first
open source based
implementation of the IDS
Reference Architecture.
FIWARE Context Broker is
the core of IDS Connectors
in this implementation.
A first version of an OPC-UA
Agent has been developed
enabling integration of
systems exporting an OPC-
UA interface with the
FIWARE Context Broker.
First presentation was at
Hannover Messe 2018.
The Fast RTPS technology,
integrated as Generic
Enabler of FIWARE, has
been adopted as default
communication middleware
in ROS2.
The FIWARE Community is
working towards providing a
Fast RTPS interface of the
FIWARE Context Broker.
