FIWARE Catalogue
A curated, Open Source framework of software platform components using a common API based around Context Data Management.
FIWARE brings a curated framework of Open Source software platform components which can be assembled together and with other third-party components to build platforms that support the development of Smart Solutions faster, easier and cheaper.
FIWARE NGSI is the API exported by a FIWARE Context Broker, used for the integration of platform components within a “Powered by FIWARE” platform and by applications to update or consume context information.
FIWARE NGSI API specifications have evolved over time, initially matching NGSI-v2 specifications, now aligning with the ETSI NGSI-LD standard. The FIWARE Community plays an active role in the evolution of ETSI NGSI-LD specifications which were based on NGSIv2 and commits to deliver compatible open source implementations of the specs.
NGSI-v2 Specification
JSON based interoperability used in individual Smart Systems
NGSI-LD Specification (ETSI)
JSON-LD based interoperability for Federations and Data Spaces
Building around the FIWARE Context Broker, a rich suite of complementary Open Source FIWARE Generic Enablers are available, dealing with the following
FIWARE is not about take it all or nothing. You are not forced to use these complementary FIWARE Generic Enablers but are free to combine them with other third-platform components to design the hybrid platform of your choice.
As long as it uses the FIWARE Context Broker technology to manage context information, your platform can be labeled as “Powered by FIWARE” and solutions build on top as well.
