• Objective 1: Develop a model to assess data quality, in
particular regarding IoT data.
 T6.1, initial work in D6.1: Holistic Data Management: State of the Art
(M6)
• Objective 2: Provide the mechanisms for linking
heterogeneous data sets from variety of sources.
 T6.2, D6.1: Holistic Data Management: State of the Art (M6)
 Analyzes current Best Practices in Data Management
 Introduces schema, ontologies and vocabularies
 Domains: IoT, O(G)D, Social Media, Personal data

• Objective 3: Enable the provisioning of the data as linked data
through SPARQL endpoints.
 Initial concept for Linked Data access to FIWARE & u2 in D6.2
 U2: SPARQL and REST-based integration
 FIWARE: Initial SPARQL endpoint exposing Deployment Knowledge Base
(T6.5)
 Extended SSN Ontology with deployment specific concepts
 Described Color Run Utrecht Deployment with Deployment Tool
• Objective 4: Develop the necessary mechanisms to support the
privacy requirements.
 Started in T6.3 & 6.4, M9. Some basic work in D6.1 (M6)

6. Results in Year 1
Summary and Discussion
29.11.2017 CPaaS.io - Consortium Confidential 6

7. D6.1: Holistic Data Management
• Analyzing existing and upcoming Best Practices
• Data on the Web Best Practices introduction (W3C)
• Analyzing many existing ontologies and their pickup
• Analyzing IoT related ontologies
• W3C Community Group work (Spatial, SSN etc)
• Identifying gaps
29.11.2017 CPaaS.io - Consortium Confidential 7

8. Existing and Upcoming Best Practices
29.11.2017 CPaaS.io - Consortium Confidential 8
FIWARE: using NGSI data model u2: ucR model
In both models, one can map and expose a specific data set as RDF
Many of the presented standards in the area of Linked
and Open Data are summarized in the Data on the Web
Best Practices W3C Recommendation
RDF Linked Data (in RDF)

9. FIWARE, u2, RDF & Linked Data
• FIWARE
• NGSI Data model
• u2
• ucode ucR model
• RDF (Resource Description Framework)
• Graph based data model, URIs as identifiers
• Various serializations, among others JSON-LD
• SPARQL query language, supports federation (SERVICE keyword)
• Linked Data: HTTP based access to URIs
29.11.2017 CPaaS.io - Consortium Confidential 9

10. Conclusion of D6.1
• For data sets with a relevance for CPaaS.io use cases
it is important to expose as much data as possible as Linked
Data
• For that, modules will be implemented that allow access to
FIWARE or u2 data as RDF
29.11.2017 CPaaS.io - Consortium Confidential 10

11. D6.2: Linked Data Access Endpoint
• Initial architecture for Linked Data (RDF) integration
• FIWARE: Semantic Integration layer
• u2: SPARQL and REST-based integration
• First FIWARE components developed
• First SPARQL queries executed against metadata
• Discussions for mapping components for data itself
