        The ETSI Industry Specification Group for cross-cutting Context Information Management (ISG CIM) has just released its first specification GS CIM 004. This specification defines a simple way to send or request data and its context such as the meaning, related information, source or licensing of that data.
        Smart cities will be the first ones to benefit from this specification. Group Specification CIM 004 defines a standard Application Programming Interface (API) for Context Information Management enabling close to real-time access to information coming from many different sources.

        Indeed ETSI Group Specification CIM 004 addresses the strong synergies between seven spheres of information currently interacting in a smart city, as shown by these examples:

        open data: air quality, street maps
        proprietary data: car parking availability, advertising of events
        Internet of Things: building sensors, water management sensors
        mobile application inputs: citizen complaints, photos of accident sites
        source of the information: licensing of valuable data, labelling of privacy-protected data, information on measurement quality or period of validity
        usage information: for optimising, for debugging, for relationships analysis
        artificial intelligence or machine analysis of that data to create performance measures (KPIs), new recommendations and conclusions on which city managers can act
        

        “Knowing the source, meaning and reliability of data is absolutely critical in making decisions, especially where legal liability exists. After many discussions with various stakeholders, we confirmed that sharing data can benefit all parties as long as people – and software systems – know they are talking about the same things.
