ANSI’s role is primarily outreach and awareness-raising to encourage technical experts to participate in the initiative and to use the working group’s output in subsequent standards activities in which ANSI plays a role as coordinator of the U.S. standardization system and U.S. member to international standards bodies.
ENEA is analyzing (especially but not exclusively based on Italy) and elaborating specific aspects related to standards and smart cities (with a special focus on Interoperability issues) as contribution to the technical white paper. Moreover, ENEA intents to coordinate a group of Italian Cities and Organizations participating to the Framework to promote and disseminate standards for the smart cities though events, projects and communication actions.
MSIP’s (Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning) role is to provide its expertise gained from Korea IoT Cluster Projects such as Busan Global Smart City and Daegu Daily Healthcare Centre, which are facilitating convergence of various IoT services based on an International IoT/M2M Standard (oneM2M) platform. In addition, as the government of South Korea, MSIP supports its role for enabling numerous IoT businesses and start-up companies to build up profitable services and establishing IoT ecosystem with the smart city frameworks derived from this activity.
ETSI's technical groups such as SmartM2M, and the global standards initiative oneM2M in which we are founding partner, are working on IoT service platform specifications that can be applied to Smart City scenarios. In addition ETSI is active in various EU initiatives such as AIOTI (The Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation) where we are considering what technical specifications exist or would need to be developed to support the ICT technologies. ETSI hopes that through this collaboration we may enable global cooperation and knowledge sharing as well as the development of global technical specifications and recommendations to help accelerate the numerous Smart City deployments around the globe.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)[1], along with Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI [2], is committed to a prosperous and sustainable future through cost-efficient and sustainable buildings, infrastructure, communities and cities. USGBC and GBCI will work toward their mission of market transformation and participation in this program through LEED and other key programs[3], offering a credible measure to evaluate, compare, manage and improve the performance of urban systems through transformative actions that improve the quality of life and wellness of citizens.
The FIWARE initiative is targeted to boost creation of an ecosystem around the FIWARE platform, which provides a rather simple yet powerful set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that ease the development of Smart Applications in multiple vertical sectors. FIWARE API specifications are public and royalty-free supported by an open source implementation enabling multiple FIWARE providers to emerge faster in the market with a low-cost proposition. The FIWARE context management API has been adopted by more than 75 cities to support real-time open data. FIWARE aims at contributing to
