CAP TABLES OF CONTENTSThe FI-WARE Program
• Goal: capture opportunities derived from the new
wave of digitalization of life and businesses
• Strategy: Build an ecosystem that will work as
catalyst for capturing the opportunities. Lead
standardization in Smart Cities and IoT (Internet of
Things)
• Pillars:
– : a generic, open standard platform which
serve the needs of developers in multiple domains
– : a meeting point where innovation takes
place, an opportunities can be incubated
– : a program that funds developers and
entrepreneurs, and ignites roll-out of the ecosystem
– : the suite of tools easing deployment
and operation of FI-WARE instance nodes
• Global footprint: open to regions sharing the
ambition

Ecosystem and Platofrm: two linked concepts
CAP TABLES OF CONTENTSOpen Standard Platform
• Avoid vendor lock-in:
– Standard Southbound APIs for sensor providers.
– Standard Northbound APIs offered to applications.
– Portability among platform providers.
– Interoperability of solutions enabled by the platform.
• Larger community of developers
– True innovation.
– Lower costs.
• No one particular standard is enough
– Modularity for improved flexibility
– Enable a variety of business models.
– Integration with standard open data platform.

CAP TABLES OF CONTENTSFI-WARE Generic Enablers (GEs)
� A FI-WARE Generic Enabler (GE):
� Set of general-purpose platform functions available through APIs.
� Building with other GEs a FI-WARE Reference Architecture.
� FI-WARE GE Specifications are open (public and royalty-free).
� FI-WARE GE implementation (FI-WARE GEi):
� Platform product that implements a given GE Open Spec.
� There might be multiple compliant GEis of each GE Open Spec.
� At least one open source reference implementation of FI-
WARE GEs (FI-WARE GEris):
� Well-known open source licenses.
� Publicly available Technical Roadmap updated in every release.
� Available FI-WARE GEis, GEris and incubated enablers
published on the FI-WARE Catalogue (www.fi-ware.org).
