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

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

New widget for searching data models

In the right column of the front page, there is a new feature for look for data models

Initial

once type ‘light’ it looks like in the right

Filtered

Every entry is an hyperlink

 

Shortcut to go or search your data model

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.

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

1 new data model in the subject datamodel.Battery

StorageBatteryMeasurement. Storage Battery Observed Data Model is intended to measure the remaining energy capacity in a battery, which can be redistributed in the form of electrical energy. These functions apply from a source that depends on the type of battery (a reference to the attribute ‘batteryType’ of the Data Model StorageBatteryDevice).

Thanks to the contributors

    New data model in Energy subject InverterDevice

    1 new data model is available in the subject dataModel.Energy.

    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. Remark: 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.

    Thanks to the contributors of the subject.

    New NGSI linked data generator for every data model

    Now the README file of every data model includes a link to the generator of NGSI-LD payloads compliant with the data model.

    As you can see in the image below there is a new section “Dynamic examples generation

    There is the sentence “Link to the Generator of NGSI-LD payloads compliant with this data model. Refresh for new values”. By clicking the Generator link an example of payload appears on the web page. Refreshing (F5) generates new payloads.
