Update the specs

Many of the contributors of the data models are providing changes into the spec.md and its translations.

Fortunately, this is not necessary. You just need to provide the changes in the descriptions included in the schema.json file of each data model.

Now in order to save time for the contributors, a warning message has been included in the specs.

The link takes you to the contribution manual section where the specification is described.

New Subject dataModel.WifiNetwork and two new data models AccessPoint and WifiPointOfInterest

The subject dataModel.WifiNetwork is being created and two new data models in it. These two are focused on the availability of wifi in a Smart city.

Coming from the Smart city of Valencia in Spain

  • AccessPoint. This entity describes an Access Point which is a networking hardware that generates a wireless network and allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to it
  • WifiPointOfInterest. This entity describes a Point of Interest that has a wireless network

See the contributors file.

 

German translation available / Deutsche Übersetzung verfügbar

Now there is a specification translated into German available for all data models in the initiative. so it becomes official like French one and Spanish.

The translation is made automatically but it seems to be good enough.

Enjoy

NGSI-LD key values service in the README of every

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)

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

New Data model Smart Metering Observation
