Dear Member of the NGSI-LD Working Group in FIWARE,
I just created the mail below and sent it out to the FIWARE ecosystem mailinglist.
It is awaiting moderator approval.

With that mail we like to announce the NGSI-LD working group in FIWARE to the
FIWARE ecosystem. Feel free to forward to the mail to respective interested
parties and projects.

Kind regards
Ernoe

Subject: Announcing the NGSI-LD working group in FIWARE

Dear FIWARE enthusiasts,

global digitization and related accelerated deployments of IoT, SmartCity and Data Lake solutions can be seen everywhere.
This drives the need to capture and integrate diverse and constantly changing data sources and analytic results . Providing a comprehensive,
robust and open approach using standards is critical to the continued success of FIWARE. Next generation Context Management needs
to evolve to address semantics, linking of data,  and provide appropriate Query Languages. Otherwise there is a risk of falling behind.

The ETSI ISG CIM (Industry Specification Group on Context Information Management), with strong support from FIWARE players, has developed
a first version of the NGSI-LD API – an evolution of the FIWARE NGSI context interfaces. We now want to discuss in FIWARE how to evolve FIWARE GEs
to support NGSI-LD.

Advantages of NGSI-LD in a nutshell:
Formal Specification - being based on an ETSI Group Specification, NGSI-LD<http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_gs/CIM/001_099/004/01.01.01_60/gs_CIM004v010101p.pdf> becomes attractive to an even broader audience, including smart cities and
governmental organizations  including the European Commission. The LD in NGSI-LD stands for ‘Linked Data’ and enables easier integration
with a plethora of information sources.

Semantic Data and Upgrade Path - while the serialization of NGSI-LD is still JSON and is very similar to the NGSIv2 serialization,
the LD-Aspect comes in with a special “@context” element that can also be integrated into an HTTP header.

Linked Data/Relationships - The underlying information model has been extended to explicitly support relationships between entities
resulting in an entity graph. The “@context” allows linking to standardized vocabularies without compromising the succinct JSON representation
of the information itself.

Information / Documentation
More information about and motivation for NGSI-LD can be found in the attached presentation.

How to participate…

We have now created the fiware-ngsi-ld at lists.fiware.org<mailto:fiware-ngsi-ld at lists.fiware.org> mailing list, where we want to start discussing the evolution of FIWARE towards NGSI-LD.
If you want to be part of this journey, please subscribe to the mailing list via https://lists.fiware.org/listinfo/fiware-ngsi-ld.

Please share this information with interesting parties.



Timeline
We expect substantial pickup of the discussion after the summer break. But of course, technical discussions as well as questions can already start now.
Please use the mailinglists


Best regards
- Ernö Kovacs on behalf of the FIWARE roadmap team
