About FIWARE
Bringing de-facto standards and open source to create a sustainable market of interoperable and portable smart cities solutions. Our reference architecture for Smart Cities breaks vertical silos, building a context info management layer that provides a holistic picture of what is going on in the city. By making city data public and merging data from multiple verticals, city-level governance systems can be enhanced. Due to “de-facto” standard information models there are no costs of adaptation to achieve full interoperability among many different systems in the city. This, in turn, enables the portability of systems across sectors and cities. Third-party solution providers can benefit from right-time open data published by the city and made available through standard APIs. They can sell their solutions to cities across the world, targeting a larger market and boosting businesses.
