[MARIA ISABEL ALONSO MEDIAVILLA]

Dear Koen,

Answer to your last question
     * What is the impact of the FRAND license on the specifications and on our implementation?

Can be found at the FAQs web page related to the first Open Call:

Asunto: [Subsidies] [Fiware-opencall-help] Questions regarding FiWare Open Call

Dear,



We are considering to apply for the Fi-Ware open call on Business Models and Business Elements (BM & BE) Definition and Simulation.

We try to comply as closely as possible to the call and as such we still have several open questions.
You will find a list of our questions in the remainder of the mail, as well as in the attached document which also contains a description of our current view on the open call and a link of the questions to their source in the FiWare documentation available .


Considering EPIC - Maintain Business Models & Elements:

     * What is meant with “a straightforward integration with Revenue
       Share System GE”? What will this integration look like in practice?
     * Or is real integration not needed and are we only required to use
       the same “types and values”?
     * Where are the formal descriptions of these types and value to be
       found?
     * Considering the described link with Revenue Share System GE
           o How are the “service/call data records” defined?
           o Where are the “billing systems involved” to be found?
           o The asset explicitly states that there is no API for this,
             how can we integrate with a component that does not offer
             any APIs?
           o There is detailed information of an implementation
             available. Where can this implementation be found?

Considering EPIC - Maintain Services Applications Actors

     * What are the goods sold by FIWARE.Actors/services/applications?
     * Where to find a description of Actors/services/applications?

Considering EPIC - Business Model Simulation

     * Who could provide more information on the “cloud computing (IaaS,
       PaaS, SaaS), priority communication, etc” services for which
       business models are to be defined? Probably this is also
       implemented somewhere in FIWARE? What does it look like?

In the general scope of the project

     * Is there a visual representation available of the links between
       all EPICS within FI-WARE and definitely within the technical
       chapter on Applications/Services Ecosystem and Delivery Framework
       in FI-WARE
     * How do the EPICS of this open call link to other EPICS in this
       Technical Chapter? E.g. some EPICS sound to be familiar (e.g
       MarketPlace) but are not explicitly mentioned in the open call epics..
     * Within FI-WARE, for which EPICS there is an implementation
       available? Where to find this implementation? What has already
       been implemented and what is ongoing?
     * If any APIs are not available at the moment, how to use them?
     * How is a reference architecture defined? If a reference
       architecture is to be delivered as a part of the project
       (addressed in this open call), what can it look like?
     * What is the impact of the FRAND license on the specifications and
       on our implementation?





best regards,
Koen Casier
