CAP TABLES OF CONTENTSThe FI-WARE 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. Lead

standardization in Smart Cities and IoT (Internet of

Things)

• Pillars:

– : a generic, open standard platform which

serve the needs of developers in multiple domains

– : a meeting point where innovation takes

place, an opportunities can be incubated

– : a program that funds developers and

entrepreneurs, and ignites roll-out of the ecosystem

– : the suite of tools easing deployment

and operation of FI-WARE instance nodes

• Global footprint: open to regions sharing the

ambition

Ecosystem and Platofrm: two linked concepts

CAP TABLES OF CONTENTSOpen Standard Platform

• Avoid vendor lock-in:

– Standard Southbound APIs for sensor providers.

– Standard Northbound APIs offered to applications.

– Portability among platform providers.

– Interoperability of solutions enabled by the platform.

• Larger community of developers

– True innovation.

– Lower costs.

• No one particular standard is enough

– Modularity for improved flexibility

– Enable a variety of business models.

– Integration with standard open data platform.

CAP TABLES OF CONTENTSFI-WARE Generic Enablers (GEs)

� A FI-WARE Generic Enabler (GE):

� Set of general-purpose platform functions available through APIs.

� Building with other GEs a FI-WARE Reference Architecture.

� FI-WARE GE Specifications are open (public and royalty-free).

� FI-WARE GE implementation (FI-WARE GEi):

� Platform product that implements a given GE Open Spec.

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

� At least one open source reference implementation of FI-

WARE GEs (FI-WARE GEris):

� Well-known open source licenses.

� Publicly available Technical Roadmap updated in every release.

� Available FI-WARE GEis, GEris and incubated enablers

published on the FI-WARE Catalogue (www.fi-ware.org).
