Smart Data Models’ Candidates repository<\/a> now includes two new candidate standards translated from ETSI’s SAREF <\/strong>(“Smart Applications REFerence”) ontology family: saref4ener<\/code><\/strong> and saref4envi<\/code><\/strong>, together contributing 116 candidate models<\/strong>. Both are official ETSI Technical Specifications, each with a normative PDF and a published Turtle\/JSON-LD\/RDF-XML ontology, and both ship the full Candidates artifact set \u2014 a JSON Schema, an NGSI-LD @context<\/code>, and all four example serializations (NGSI-v2 and NGSI-LD, key-values and normalized) \u2014 validated against its own schema.<\/p>\n

SAREF4ENER \u2014 61 models<\/h2>\n

SAREF4ENER<\/a> (ETSI TS 103 410-1) is the SAREF extension for energy flexibility and demand-response<\/strong>: the vocabulary behind smart appliances, batteries, and loads that can shift or modulate their power consumption in response to grid signals or incentives. It covers seven distinct “flexibility profile” shapes (power-envelope, power-limit, fill-rate, incentive-table, demand-driven, operation-mode…), the request\/offer\/instruction messages exchanged between a flexibility provider and a grid operator, load-control events and states, and the generic data-point\/time-series building blocks used throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SAREF4ENVI \u2014 55 models<\/h2>\n

SAREF4ENVI<\/a> (ETSI TS 103 410-2)
\ncovers two distinct worlds under one ontology: a lighting\/light-pollution domain (lampposts, light points, illuminance\/sky-brightness observations) and a full waste-management lifecycle<\/strong> \u2014 from a resident’s bin, through collection rounds, to treatment, disposal, and the emissions and secondary resources that treatment produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
