The new version of the script for generating the specifications has been released in the directory utils of the umbrella repository data-models.

It allows the creation of the markdown specifications out of the json schema in multiple languages. If you have an account of DeepL API you can make the translations automatically.

Thanks to Konstantinos Gompakis from tuc.gr for this suggestion on others.

Hopefully you have unnoticed about several structural changes this weekend that has happen at SDM.

Database of attributes,

Now there are several additional information included.

— A unique id for every attribute of a version of a data model (i.e.

— The link to the parent’s attribute (whenever there is a parent) context link (i.e. https://smartdatamodels.org/address)

— The unique id of the parent attribute (whenever there is a parent) (i.e.

— The @context link of the attributes pointing to an existing web page with some details about the attribute (i.e. https://smartdatamodels.org/postOfficeBoxNumber)

Specifications

Now the second level of attributes is available in the specification document for all the languages (i.e. https://github.com/smart-data-models/dataModel.User/blob/master/Activity/doc/spec.md)

Context file

Now the second and subsequent levels of the attributes have URI entries in the @context included in the file context.jsonld file in every subject (i.e. https://github.com/smart-data-models/dataModel.Environment/blob/master/context.jsonld)

The URI of the data models points to a existing web page (i.e. https://smartdatamodels.org/dataModel.Environment/ambientNoiseTSA)

Besides this we welcome a new member of the SDM team, Rihab Feki.

We are considering to officially provide an attestation of your contributions to SDM.

Before launching it officially we have created a drafted document for those contributors with a valid mail and name (there are people who do not want to disclose their contribution).

Accordingly, if you browse the database of contributors you will see a new column with the heading attestation and a download draft link.

By clicking on that link you can download the draft version of an attestation of your contribution.

We’ll be glad to receive your feedback on this initiative and the format and content of the attestation in the info@smartdatamodels.org address.

You can see an example below

attestation_alberto.abella@fiware.org_dataModel.Agrifood_2022

Now you can see in the right widget a new entry with the link for our channel on discord #smart-data-models, you can also send your question there. (But only once you have joined by using this invitation )

If you need help on discord channel you can browse this link.

We have released two very simple programs to create an entity in a context broker and for removing an entity based on its id.

Although this is pretty straight forward, being coded in PHP allows you to integrate with, in example, in a WordPress site.

In fact these programs are working in the test Orion-LD broker option, located here at home -> tools -> test Orion-LD broker

The source code is available at the utils directory and the  data-models umbrella repository

– create_broker_entity.php

– remove_broker_entity.php
