New service: Generate a NGSI-LD payload keyvalues format compliant with a Smart Data Model

There is a new service for users, which is the ability to generate an example payload compliant with a specific data model in key values format. Previously it was available the normalized format.

Options are located in the main menu (Generate NGSI examples)

Update of the contribution manual. Process image

We have drafted the publication process for new data models and for updates.

It’s the first page of the contribution manual and every box (not in this image) has links to the tools/resources to be used.

Hopefully, it will be more straightforward to be understood.

Comments welcomed

MediaEvent in the Multimedia Subject

The multimedia subject, belonging to the cross-sector domain, has been created with this data model:

MediaEvent. Base for all events raised by elements in the media server.

This model works with the components media server and kurento. Kurento Generic Enabler enables real-time processing of media streams supporting the transformation of video cameras into sensors as well as the incorporation of advanced application functions (integrated audiovisual communications, augmented reality, flexible media playing and recording, etc)

Don’t to these section in the contribution manual

In order to reduce the work for the contributors of the new data models, there is a new section on the contribution manual title ‘don’t do these’ with recommendations for the most common poor practices in the contribution process.

Although all contributions are welcomed it will save everybody’s time by reading this section once.

Additionally, the section can be improved so you can submit your recommendations/lessons learned here.

New data model StorageBatteryMeasurement in dataModel.Battery subject
