This is from B1.1.3.3 of the proposal - I bet some of this could be reused The current Internet market is a continuously evolving and heterogeneous ecosystem. In order to cover all existing needs and pave the way for the evolution towards the Future Internet, where customer-tailored goods and services will be readily available, the knowledge about users? environment and preferences, and the capability to understand the meaning of the information exposed or interchanged are going to be critical and valuable.. Only in this way it will be possible to satisfy all the demands posed by this diversity and create new business opportunities. During the last couple of years many services and tools have emerged that are going towards that direction. Led by the most relevant players in the IT industry they provide new business capabilities, supported for example by Social Networks development (as Facebook), context aware applications (as Foursquare) or services for indexing and accessing the annotated and structured part of the Web (like Yahoo Search Monkey). It is now clear that this trend towards exploiting this wealth of online data is here to stay and will decisively define the way in which many applications will be built in the future. For this reason, FI-WARE Support Services will offer generic modules, based on open specifications and common standards, which will make this data globally accessible, both by subscription or upon request, from any type of application. Furthermore, it will also support the new distributed processing and storage paradigms emerging in the context of the Internet of Things. All these technologies will be accompanied by reference implementations in order to help develop new businesses and services based on them. Some of the services to be provided by Future Internet applications will need advanced data acquisition and analysis techniques. Apart from the streams of data coming from the Internet of Things (e.g. sensor data), organizing and extracting meaningful information and knowledge from the overwhelming, unstructured or semi-structured, user-created content coming from the so-called Web 2.0 (social networks, blogs, etc.) is a difficult task. Improvements in data acquisition, analysis and knowledge extraction and integration from massive amounts of unstructured and uncertain data have to be made. The future internet has to provide means to integrate this new knowledge with the existing structured information and make it available for further search and usage. Thus FI-WARE will apply semantic approaches to provide solutions to discover and associate annotations between different types of content and data, information extraction services, annotation and discovery of news feeds and web content, stream-processing algorithms, etc. There is also a clear need to provide a reliable and scalable infrastructure to manage and store all the data and metadata associated to this data acquisition and transformation process. Therefore, FI-WARE will include a distributed and scalable data management infrastructure to deal with both data and metadata. While semantic technologies are contributing as a key piece to support interoperability on the Web, Ontology development tools and frameworks are crucial to produce more and more fit-to-purpose ontologies, enabling their reusability, and establishing the techniques, models and frameworks for supporting more efficient, cost-effective and flexible methods of ontology development and customisation. These frameworks should cover a variety of improvements like being able to manage networked ontologies in a dynamically and modular way. Instead of big, monolithic, unmanageable and difficult to map knowledge bases, this type of frameworks aim towards a network of modular ontologies linked together that helps bridging the gap between different terminologies. FI-WARE will provide this ontology development environments and data model annotations systems for ontology advanced engineering activities (from annotation, documentation and development to ontology reuses facilities). Current usage patterns observed on the Internet should be also taken into account: several connected devices are used for accessing the same application (e.g. Facebook), for providing specific information (e.g. presence) during a service interaction or for reaching similar services (e.g. address book). FI-WARE Support Services covers the current and future needs of data portability and data availability by proposing multi-channel data delivery and retrieving (xMS, API, Plug-in?), data synchronization mechanisms for bringing coherence between services and relevant data storage and annotation for managing the huge amount of information. Therefore a successful framework for developing a convergent platform that supports applications and services can be only reached through enriched composition of data collected from a broad scope of data sources. Among these, the high volume media data (especially visual data) show a clear trend towards higher resolutions resulting in even higher data-rate that needs to be handled by the whole process of data collection and data processing. Privacy and Security issues should be managed through specific tools for controlling the type of information that users? want to provide, preserving no disclosed data from any type of processing. Additionally digital signature or similar mechanisms should be provided in order to know the origin/ownership of the data. Hence, Support Services will be a component of the FI-WARE platform and together with the Apps/Services Ecosystem and Delivery Framework, Cloud Hosting, Internet of Things Service Enablement and Interfaces to the Network, will offer a complete solution for: distributed massive data storage and processing, context awareness management, content indexing and semantic enrichment, profiling and recommendation support and event processing enabling the implementation of flexible business models and allowing user driven process creation and personalization.

Guy has volunteered to work on the integration of the different pieces of our chapter in parallel to my work finishing the review of the rest of the chapters. Thanks Guy !! One thing that I would kindly ask someone else to work is to provide some piece of text (no more than half a page) giving some sort of introduction about the relevance of data (including context data) in the Future Internet, therefore providing some sort of rational for the whole chapter. It's just blah, blah to some extend, but question is that all the other WPs have some sort of introduction like the one described in their respective chapters ... Any volunteer to work on this while Guy is integrating the rest of the pieces and I finish my work reviewing other chapters ?
