	== CityWeb Proposal ==		== CityWeb Proposal ==
	We propose a "CityWeb" project, which has as its goal the implementation and definition of an integrated data management portal and information-sharing platform for Smart City solutions. It is both a resource for Smart City technology solutions as well as a locality-specific portal with links ~~and~~ and archives of information that are relevant to the community. A CityWeb instance can be implemented for each Smart City, with city-specific information. These CityWeb instances are intended to be bolstered by additional resources in the form of an open source software development community contributing to a Software Development Kit (a "CitySDK") for Smart City technologies.

	~~=== FIWARE Data Models ===~~
	The NGSI API is agnostic to datasets. However, the community has harmonized some models to enable data portability for different applications including, but not limited, to Smart Cities. The available [http://fiware-datamodels.readthedocs.io/ FIWARE Data Models], which are a superset of the GSMA Data Models, include specifications for:

	* Transportation: smart mobility and efficient management of municipal services
	* Parking: real time and static parking data (on street and off street) interoperable with the EU standard DATEX II
	* Device: IoT devices (sensors, actuators, wearables, etc.) with their characteristics and dynamic status
	* Street Lighting: modeling street lights and all their controlling equipment towards energy-efficient and effective urban illuminance
	* Environment: monitor air quality and other environmental conditions for a healthier living
	* Civic Issue tracking: civic issue tracking interoperable with the de-facto standard Open311

	~~Development guidelines are available for those members willing to contribute and create additional data models.~~

	As opposed to vendor-driven software platforms, FIWARE services are designed as standalone components implemented by multiple partners. Independence in decision making, openness, transparency and meritocracy are founding principles of the community. An important part of the 'FIWARE Culture' is also the proper balance between the individuals who invest their time and effort, the companies that build businesses on FIWARE and the application developers who build and deploy new applications based on FIWARE technologies.
