New subject for Tourism
It is just the beginning of a repository for tourism data models inside the domain of Smart destination.
Incubated data models
if you are browsing the repository you can realise that now there are several data models ended with the term ‘_incubated’.
This suffix denotes that there will be ‘soon’ a new data model.
The readme in the folder points to the repository where this data model is being created.
Once finished (all the docs, examples, etc) the _incubated suffix will be removed and the data model will be fully included into the data models.
some examples:
BuildingType_incubated(published 30-11-21)
PhreaticObserved_incubated (published 31-5-2021)
RainFallRadarObserved_incubated (published 10-5-2021)
etc
Survey to the users of smart data models
This is the first survey to the USERS of the Smart Data Models. We want to know what is more important to you and try to prioritize our efforts. This is an agile initiative, therefore we will take into very consideration your comments. Your survey is anonymous although if you wish you can include your email in comments and we will contact you regarding your comments.
You can answer it here.
Soon there will be another survey for the CONTRIBUTORS.
New data models for Photovoltaic Device
In the harmonization repository, there is a new model name photovoltaic Device. To be completed previously to be incorporated. You can submit an issue on it if interested.
The Data Model is intended to describe the mechanical, electrical and thermal characteristics of photo-voltaic panels according to : – STC – Standard Test Condition – Sunshine 1000 Wm² / Radiation 1.5 AM / Temp 25° Celsius / Air Masse 0 m/s. – NOCT – Normal Operating Cell Temperature
– Sunshine 800 Wm² / Radiation 1.5 AM / Temp 20° Celsius / Air Masse 1 m/s.
The measures performed for STC and NOCT are – [Pmax] Maximum Nominal Power measured in WTT represents Watt.. – [Umpp] Optimal operating voltage measured in VLT represents Volt. – [Impp] Optimal Operating Current measured in AMP represents Ampere. – [Uoc] Open Circuit Voltage measured in VLT represents Volt. – [Isc] Short Circuit Current measured in AMP represents Ampere.
Additional Information about Data Model: This Data Model can be used directly as the main entity to describe the device [PHOTOVOLTAIC] or as a sub-entity of the Data Model [DEVICE] using a reference by the refDevice attribute.
New data models on Energy
There are two data models coming for the Energy domain (ACMeasurement and InverterDevice). You can submit an issue on it if interested.
Once harmonized with the contributors and checking the interaction with other data models they will be incorporated into the Energy repository inside the domain of Smart Energy.
ACMeasurement
The Data Model intended to measure the electrical energies consumed by an electrical system which uses an Alternating Current (AC) for a three-phase (L1, L2, L3) or single-phase (L) and neutral (N). It integrates the initial version of the data Modem [THREEPHASEMEASUREMENT], extended to also perform single-phase measurements. it includes attributes for various electrical measurements such as power, frequency, current and voltage.
Additional Information about Attributes : For some attributes such as current and voltage the value is a structured value with properties for the Single-Phase (L) or three different phases (L1, L2 and L3). For some measurements such as the different power types (active, reactive and apparent power) there is an attribute for the total from all phases. The rules are defined as below : – Three Phase – Total = L1 + L2 + L3 – Single Phase – Total = L.
For most of the attributes, there are various ways they can be actually measured. For this purpose the measurementType Meta Data Attribute can be used. It can have the following values:
When using the values [average, rms, minimum, maximum], another metadata attribute called measurementInterval should be used to give the length of the measurement period in seconds. Also the Meta Data timestamp attribute should be the end time of the measurement period.
InverterDevice
The Data Model is intended to describe the mechanical, electrical characteristics of an Inverter according to DC – Direct Current Information supplied as input and AC – Alternating Current Information returned as output.
Additional Information about Data Model: This Data Model can be used directly as the main entity to describe the device [INVERTER] or as a sub-entity of the Data Model [DEVICE] using a reference by the refDevice attribute.
New harmonization repository
In order to provide a more transparent and participative approach to the creation and maintenance of data models, here you can see the three stages for a usual data model to be part of the official list of data models.
1.- Pending is the ‘wild’ zone where developers share their thoughts and create their data models. When finished (ready) they can create a PR on the right Subject repository.
2.- Harmonization is the repository for those new accepted models while they are fine-tuned or completed
3.- Subject means the repository in which the data model is officially published. Once there they are versioned when necessary.
| Pending | Harmonization | Subject | |
| Control of contributions | No | Yes | Yes |
| Scripts for checking | No | Yes (specific) | Yes (only acceptance and on update) |
| Code inside json schema | No | Harmonizing | Local standard
Global standard |
| Versioning | No | No | Yes |
| Managed | Each contributor | Contributor + SDM control | SDM control |
| In domain | No | No | Yes |
| Accept issues | Yes but not managed | Yes | Yes (Here the open ones) |
| First Access | Anyone |

SDM: Smart Data Models initiative
Connection with European open data portal
The European open data portal is possibly the biggest open data portal in the world with more than one million free datasets coming from 36 countries.
One of the mechanisms to access its data is the use of the standard of DCAT-AP standard 2.0 which defines its catalogue of resources.
In the repository pending there are two data models, in progress to connect a dataset and a distribution as an additional resource by using NGSI. The idea is to create a script to map this resource into NGSI.
Updated the csv examples
Every data model has a directory with examples of the payloads (json and jsonld) in key-values and normalized formats.
But it also includes examples of csv that it could help to connect the data models for other platforms.
Now, these examples are re-created automatically once a day.
The naming convention for these examples are the same name of the original payload plus a .csv suffix.
An example for the Battery data model examples.
Best.
Searchable descriptions of data models
In the upper menu (option Search descriptions) there is a searchable database of the descriptions for all the properties across the different data models.
Try it out here.
This DDBB is updated daily.
