This document provides an overview of FIWARE technology and the FIWARE Foundation. It discusses how FIWARE uses an open standard NGSI-LD API to manage context information and share data across domains. FIWARE provides a platform for building smart solutions by gathering, processing and analyzing real-world data from various sources. The FIWARE Foundation promotes the adoption of FIWARE technologies globally and has grown to over 400 members within 4 years.

- 16. 15 … a real standard: Standardization on a global scale The ETSI ISG CIM has decided to give the name “NGSI-LD” to the Context Information Management API. The rationale is to reinforce the fact that this specification leverages on FIWARE NGSIv2 to incorporate the latest advances from Linked Data. FIWARE Standardization: FIWARE has been recognised as key contributor for the IoT-Enabled Smart City Framework.
