Collaboration with the FIWARE Community. 2.2.1 Integration of micro-ROS results in FIWARE FIWARE brings a curated framework of open source software platform components (referred to as FIWARE Generic Enablers - GEs) which can be assembled together and with other third-party components to build platforms that support the development of Smart Solutions faster, easier and cheaper. A more detailed technical description of FIWARE can be found on the FIWARE website1 or GitHub2. The FIWARE NGSI API provides a simple yet powerful API for solving a basic need in any smart solution: how to gather, manage and provide access to context information. The core Context Broker component of any “Powered by FIWARE” platform supports this API, which also enables the integration of the rest of platform components. The FIWARE NGSI API provides the basis for interoperability of smart solutions/services running on top of “Powered by FIWARE” platforms as well as their portability (replicability) across different “Powered by FIWARE” platforms. Building around the FIWARE Context Broker, a rich suite of complementary FIWARE components can be integrated as part of a “Powered by FIWARE” platform. The complete set of FIWARE GEs are structured in several FIWARE chapters (see figure below): ● Core Context Management chapter, comprising the core FIWARE Context Broker component as well as components enabling integration with multiple alternative data sinks for storage and further processing of historic context data ● Chapter comprising FIWARE GEs helping to implement the interface with IoT devices, robots and third-party systems, capturing updates on context information and translating required actuations; ● Chapter comprising FIWARE GEs for advanced monitoring, using dashboard and analytical support tools, as well as processing and analyzing current and historic context data using event rules, advanced Big Data and AI algorithms, targeted to support smart decisions or the smart automation of processes; ● Chapter comprising FIWARE GEs dealing with management, publication and monetization of context data and services, preserving defined access and usage control policies. An Incubated FIWARE GE is an open source software product whose owner has proposed for adoption as a new FIWARE Generic Enabler (i.e., component) of the FIWARE platform framework. Consideration as first-class FIWARE GE is achieved once well established requirements for FIWARE contribution are met3. 1 xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/developers/ 2 xxxxx://xxxxxx.xxx/FIWARE/cat...
