FIWARE is an open source platform consisting of generic enablers and solutions that allow for the management and exchange of context information through open APIs. The platform aims to support the development of smart digital services and applications. Context information from different domains can be gathered and organized in a common way using FIWARE's context broker as the main component. Once context data is collected, additional enablers can be used for advanced processing, visualization, and analysis to derive insights and power smart applications and services.

This is FIWARE!
• A framework of open source platform
components to access and manage
heterogeneous context information
through open APIs
• A standard for exchange of context
information: FIWARE-NGSI (Next
Generation Service Interface)
• Generic Enablers and Solutions to
provide Smart Services with the
FIWARE Context Broker as main
component
5. Open data publication

Once context information is gathered, a lot of useful
complementary FIWARE enablers can be used

The Advantages of an Open Source Platform like FIWARE for Smart
Services
§ The basic software (Platform and Generic Enablers) is available for
everyone, for free, forever
§ A large open source developers community is maintaining and further
developing the basic software components
§ A large group of start ups and global corporate companies are providing
smart solutions and smart services based on FIWARE
§ Lowest cost of ownership for the end users
§ Open data models and open APIs are avoiding a ‚vendor-lock-in‘ effect

FIWARE: Standardization on a global scale
The ETSI ISG CIM has decided to give the
name “NGSI-LD” to the Context Information
Management API. The rationale is to reinforce
the fact that this specification leverages on the
… FIWARE NGSIv2 to incorporate the latest
advances from Linked Data.
