[Fiware-technical-committee] Feedback needed Name of Context Information Management API

[Pezuela, Clara]

Dear Jose Manuel,

FIWARE is now quite identified with NGSI, and we are using such word everywhere when we talk about FIWARE. Don’t you think that change of name will be initially confusing? I am not saying I don’t understand the change and that things have to evolve, but I would take care of how we communicate the message and be sure that we are doing well the transition from one word to another word to avoid people got lost or that they perceive a wrong message.

Here my two cents

Best regards

Subject: [Fiware-technical-committee] Feedback needed Name of Context Information Management API

Dear all,

There is a formal proposal on the table (currently supported by ETSI and Orange) of naming the Context Information Management API as C3IM. (Cross-Cutting Context Information Management). Nice thing about this proposal is two-fold:

A/ It keeps the letters C,I,M in the letters but at the same time avoids colliding with “CIM” a very overloaded acronym.
B/ It is pronounced similarly to CIM if you see the “3” as en e ;)
C/ It has the word “Context” in it

So, it seems to meet various requirements. This is an important decision that may affect FIWARE in the future as, if this initiative succeeds, then no longer it will be talked about FIWARE NGSI but about C3IM.

So, please send us your feedback as soon as possible. We can deal with this during next TSC, (don’t know whether we have one next Monday)

Many thanks, Best
