The FIWARE Next Generation Service Interface (NGSI) is an open standard for context data management. The main and only mandatory component of any โPowered by FIWAREโ platform or solution is a FIWARE Context Broker Generic Enabler, supplying a cornerstone function required in any smart solution: the need to manage context information, enabling to perform updates and bring access to context.
FIWARE components use NGSI as a mechanism to ensure interoperability in Smart Systems. The NGSI standard itself continues to evolve, initially matching the NGSI-v2 specifications (JSON), now also incorporating Linked Data concepts aligning with the ETSI NGSI-LD standard (JSON + JSON-LD) for use in broader data spaces and System-of-Systems development.
- The FIWARE Catalogue of open source software components.
- Training Materials for both NGSI APIs:
โข NGSI-v2 for JSON based interoperability in individual Smart Systems
โข NGSI-LD for JSON-LD (Linked Data) based interoperability for Federations and Data Spaces - A collection of useful FIWARE Operations repositories such as Helm-Charts and reference architectures.
- .. and lots of links to other FIWARE materials created externally - Awesome FIWARE
As an open standard free for all forever, all these materials found on GitHub are available under appropriate open source licenses.
