What is the green button for?

You can notice a new button on our front page. What is this green button for?

Start data model/s

It is the starting point for contributing with a data model to the initiative. It takes you to a form. Let us explain how:

  • We ask you about the goal, it allows others to know what are the data models meant for
  • Name of the directory (the name that will be assigned in the incubated repository)
  • Your GitHub user (we do not disclose it) for granting you the permissions
  • The organization/s you belong to if this would be relevant for others
  • The project you are working for if this would be relevant for others
  • A contact email we disclose (otherwise how are they going to contact you for collaboration?)
  • The industrial domain, to make it simpler to look for similar initiatives
  • You can suggest the names of the data models willing to create
  • Any additional comment you wish

After filling the form we assess if these data models are actually new, and then we grant you the permissions on the incubated repository and you will appear listed in the list of data models in progress.

Open Session 28-6-21

Presentation of the 28-6-21 in the open session. Next session on the 5th of July 14:00h CEST.

If you want to present something these are the slides with several free slots to be filled by the people attending.

 

Release of software for Smart Data Models Programs

According to the last open session, the script for the creation of the model.yaml file (see this example) file which is present in every data model has been released.
It is a python 3.6 script you can access in the utils directory of the program.
source code available.

CityWork Data model in Transportation subject

In the subject dataModel.Transportation there is a new data model, CityWork capable of storing the values and the impacted infrastructures of the city due to due civil engineering works in the transportations system of a Smart City (or other places),

  • CityWork. The Data Model is a contextual description of urban works carried out on a road axis and which can impact individuals (Cars, motorcycles, bicycles, .…) or common transport (Tram, Bus, subway). It contains a geographic representation making it possible to locate its work from a specific JSON Object and at a more global level (Road segment, Road, District, …) in order to assess the potential impacts on the circulation. A GeoJSON object may represent a region of space (a Geometry), a spatially-bounded entity (a Feature), or a list of features (a Feature Collection). refer to the document geojson for more information about the modeling and the possible value.

Thanks to the Contributors.

Collaboration with existing data models in progress.

If you are willing to collaborate with some of the data models currently in progress you can now access a list of projects in the new option in the main menu.

If you are willing to launch your own project for the creation or update of data models you can fill this form, to ask for permissions in incubated repository. Once received permissions will be granted. Also in the main menu.

Calendar of events

In order to provide a simple way to contact the different meetings around the Smart Data Models initiative now you have two new services, a calendar in the right upper corner, together with this new option in the menu. (About -> Events Calendar
Additionally, a very simple theme has been assigned if you are accessing the site from your mobile in order to improve the performance (and the SEO as a consequence)

Microsoft digital twins export DTDL in beta

We have created an export of Smart Data Models in DTDL format. You’ll see them in the root directory named schemaDTDL.json.

A bit more than 500 models have got it because we are in the process of a final complete mapping between the possibilities of JSON schema and DTDL.

This is the first version for testing purposes and they are not meant to be ready for production. Anyhow, we welcome any feedback on them.

See this example schemaDTDL.json, and a tool for finding all of them is available here. (Same tool for any other search).
