Yes, congratulations to all! We are "live" at https://portal.etsi.org/ ! Now for our press releases, we have to wait until ETSI does their one, sometime tomorrow morning. I just got the email with their draft, below, in case we have any comments. Anyone with significant objections to the ETSI draft below, please let me know so I can ask for changes. ___ ETSI CONFIDENTIAL___ ETSI is pleased to announce the creation of a new Industry Specification Group on cross-sector Context Information Management (ISG CIM) for smart cities applications and beyond. The first meeting of the ISG CIM is planned to take place at the ETSI premises in Sophia Antipolis, France, on 9-10 February 2017. Data without context are meaningless. Every sensor measurement, every entry in a database, every tweet sent and every webcam video watched has its own context. The context seems obvious to humans: the temperature sensor is attached to an air-conditioner in the house, the database of vehicle registration numbers is used by a policeman in the city, the tweet comes from a person who has just witnessed something interesting and the webcam shows a particular city street with its name embedded in the video frames. Taken away from its context, each piece of information is nearly useless. And software programs/agents searching for useful information may only find it if the context is available i.e. published with the data. A Context Information Management (CIM) system acts as a clearing-house for publishing, discovering, monitoring and maintaining data according to relevant contexts for smart applications. “With the rapid development of technologies such as Big Data, semantic web, complex workflow or autonomous decision making, it was time the need for interoperable context information is becoming huge”, says Lindsay Frost, convenor of ETSI ISG CIM “The ISG CIM will specify protocols running ‘on top’ of IoT platforms and allowing exchange of data together with its context, this includes what is described by the data, what was measured, when, where, by what, the time of validity, ownership, and others. That will dramatically extend the interoperability of applications, helping smart cities to integrate their existing services and enable new third-party services.” ISG CIM will focus on developing specifications for a common context information management API, data publication platforms and standard data models. The group will work closely with the ETSI SmartM2M technical committee and with oneM2M, the global standards initiative for M2M and the IoT (Internet of Things) of which ETSI is a founding member, since the IoT is one of the sources of context data for smart applications. Participation in the cross-sector Context Information Management Industry Specification Group is open to all ETSI members as well as organizations who are not members, subject to signing ISG Agreements.

Data without context is meaningless. While the relevant context may be obvious for humans, it is not for ICT based applications, in particular for complex, cross-sector use cases like smart cities, where data may originate from many sources and may be used for diverse, even unknown future applications. A Context Information Management (CIM) system acts as a clearing-house for publishing, discovering, monitoring and maintaining data according to relevant contexts for smart applications. ISG CIM will develop technical reports and specifications for applications to update, manage, and access context information based on domain specific information models, e.g. for smart cities, as well as publishing that information through interoperable data publication platforms. ISG CIM will provide a standardized Context Information Management solution to enable all interested stakeholders and organizations to develop interoperable software implementations, including open source implementations, fostering a plethora of smart city applications and beyond. ISG CIM will reach out to relevant initiatives and cooperate closely to avoid any duplication of work. It will in particular coordinate its work with ETSI TC SmartM2M and the ETSI Partnership Project oneM2M. ISG CIM on the Portal The ISG CIM Member Agreement including the Terms of Reference and the related Instructions are available from the ETSI Portal ISG CIM area at: https://portal.etsi.org/tb.aspx?tbid=854&SubTB=854#5068-home As with all ISGs, information on the Work Programme and future meeting dates are available to all ETSI members on the ETSI Portal, and all published ISG Group Reports and ISG Group Specifications will be available for download by the public free of charge. ISG CIM Participation Participation of ETSI Full and/or Associate members and/or applicants to ETSI Full and/or Associate membership in ISG CIM is subject to signing the relevant ISG Member Agreement, and all Full and Associate members of ETSI and/or applicants to ETSI Full and/or Associate membership are invited to join. ETSI members who wish to apply for ISG CIM membership fulfilling the requirements as per the ETSI Directives, are kindly invited to download the ISG CIM Member Agreement from the dedicated area on the ETSI Portal and follow the Instructions on the cover page. ETSI Observers and non-members of ETSI will also be able to participate, subject to signing an ISG Participant Agreement and paying a per-meeting fee. ISG CIM Kick-Off meeting The first meeting of the ISG CIM is planned to take place at the ETSI premises in Sophia Antipolis, France, on 9-10 February 2017.
