Initially, you will see few changes in the specifications of all data models,(it is in progress because it will last around 2 days to get it completed)

– The inclusion of the model for those attributes having it.

– Including the data type (when there is only one) for the attributes. ”

but there is another hidden relevant change. The specifications are now divided into sections by these tags:

<!– section name –>

<!– /section name –>

It makes easier to update part of the specification without disrupting the rest of the content, and in most markdown viewers it is unnoticed. Besides this, it also allows the extension of the specification (if needed in a coming future) with new sections.

And, of course, everything can be done automatically. Thus we can keep being agile according to our principles.

Therefore, if you see that the specifications are presenting an update don’t worry, Initially, it is just the format and this new trick.

And welcome to the Chinese translation which is using this new format already.

Now the list of specifications has a new language, Chinese. they are called spec_ZH.md
See the example with the WaterConsumption data model.

All the CONTRIBUTORS.yaml files across all subjects have been extended with a new attribute year. This year means the year of the contribution.
It will help us to give recognition to the contributors.
By default, it has been set to 2022 (it was much work to find out when the last contribution was submitted for each one of the several contributors across the 60 subjects).

It has been also changed in the template of the CONTRIBUTORS file in the templates folder.

In order to create a new data model or to update an existing one, Check your schema before contributing it, to check the schema on the front page.

The service has been updated to check not only the attributes of the payload but also the schema metadata (schema version, license, derivedFrom, title, description) so it will be easier to complete it before submission.

The code is available at the directory utils in the data-model repository.

Here you can have the presentation of the people presenting at the Smart Data Models session of the FIWARE summit.

Tomorrow at day 0 of the FIWARE summit there will be a training session about Smart Data Models.
Slides are freely shared here

This training will be delivered face to face.
