In the README of every data model now there is a new line in the Dynamic examples section, under the text
“Link to the Generator of NGSI-LD keyvalues payloads compliant with this data model. Refresh for new values”
The link provides an example of a NGSI keyvalues payload with values compliant with the data types of this smart data model but generated randomly (so it does not look like static examples which actually are coming from real examples)
There is a new data model in the dataModel.Weather subject, SeaConditions
SeaConditions. This entity contains a harmonized geographic description of sea conditions
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)
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.
The 5 data models of social media subject have been updated to ensure compatibility with other data models.
A new data model for the device subject capable of allocating payloads of power consumption. In the subject datamodel.Device.
SmartMeteringObservation. This entity contains a harmonized description of a Smart Meter Observation, generally applicable for Smart Homes, Industry, Cities, and Agriculture. It is based mostly on the GSMA entity definition but it is extended
In the right column of the front page, there is a new feature for look for data models

The list of data models has been completely changed.
Step 1: write part of the name of data model or repository
Step 2: The table filter the options
Step 3: Click on the name and it takes you directly to the github location you need.
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)
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.
