Open Standard

Platform

ecosystemopen globalsustainable

Why an open standard platform is required

• Avoid vendor lock-in:• Standard Southbound APIs for sensor providers

• Standard Northbound APIs offered to applications

• Portability across platform providers

• Interoperability of apps on top of different providers

• Larger community of developers• True innovation

• More competition, leading to cost savings

• Not any standard is enough• Modularity

• Allow different business models

• Integration with standard open data platform

• Non-intrusive5

FIWARE = advanced OpenStack-based Cloud capabilities + library of APIs that ease development of applications

Sustainability ensured

Driven by implementation

Generic & Specific Enablers

• FI-WARE is open, based upon elements called Generic Enablers

• Generic Enablers offer reusable and commonly shared functions serving a multiplicity of Usage Areas across various sectors

• Specific Enablers are enablers that are common to multiple applications but all of them specific to a very limited set of Usage Areas (i.e. App)

FIWARE Generic Enablers (GEs)

� A FIWARE Generic Enabler (GE):

� set of general-purpose platform functions available through APIs

� Building with other GEs a FIWARE Reference Architecture

� FIWARE GE Specifications are open (public and royalty-free)

� FIWARE GE implementation (FIWARE GEi):

� Platform product that implements a given GE Open Spec

� There might be multiple compliant GEis of each GE Open Spec

� One open source reference implementation of each FIWARE GE (FIWARE GEri):

• Well-known open source license

• Publicly available Technical Roadmap updated in every release

� Available FIWARE GEis, GEris and incubated enablers are published on the FIWARE Catalogue

FIWARE Instances

• Future Internet Applications run on top of “FIWARE Instances” that are built by “FIWARE Instance Providers” upon:

• selection of FIWARE GEis (products) from the FIWARE Catalogue.

• assembly of selected FIWARE GEis with added-value components.

• Test @: https://account.lab.fi-ware.org/users/sign_in

The FIWARE Program

• Goal: capture opportunities derived from the new wave of digitalization of life and businesses

• Strategy: Build an ecosystem that will work as catalyst for capturing the opportunities.

• Pillars:

• FI-WARE : a generic, open standard platform which serve the needs of

developers in multiple domains

• FIWARE Lab : a meeting point where innovation takes place, an

opportunities can be incubated

• FIWARE Accelerate : a program that funds developers and

entrepreneurs, and ignites roll-out of the ecosystem

• FIWARE Ops : the suite of tools easing deployment and operation of FI-

WARE instance nodes and used to build, operate and expand FIWARE
