[Fiware-webui] Comments, please, on Orion Context Broker vs POI Data Provider

[Ari Okkonen ADT]

Hi,

I added a summary of the features found only from the POI server to the
end of the report. I include it here, also.


    Summary

Features of the POI DP not supported by the CB (as far as I know)

  *

    Content (names, types, and structure of attributes) controlled by a
    schema configuration file.

  *

    Classification of POIs controlled by a category configuration file

  *

    Time based filtering of results "a cafe open to morrow until
    21:00"based on comprehensive notation for service/open times

  *

    Multi-language support "response in German, please"

  *

    Proven process to import POIs from OpenStreetMap

  *

    Demo client to view, add, and edit the POIs - contains a data editor
    directed by the schema of the site.

  *

    Configurable dynamic data extraction from other sites or data
    servers, e.g. from web pages showing local weather data or from JSON
    data provided by IoT servers

  *

    Session based access control - suitable for direct web client access
