Other data model catalogs

This catalog references and extends what exists elsewhere instead of copying it. This page lists that "elsewhere". Some can be used with NGSI-LD as they are; others need a mapping.

Global

Catalog	Content	NGSI-LD
Smart Data Models	Run by FIWARE, TM Forum, IUDX and OASC. Over 900 models for smart cities, agriculture, energy and more. JSON Schema, @context, examples, multilingual specs (Japanese is machine-translated)	Ready to use. The upstream of this catalog
ETSI NGSI-LD specification (GS CIM 009 V1.8.1)	The NGSI-LD API specification (PDF). Its core context with the reserved terms (location, observedAt, status and others) is published versioned at uri.etsi.org	Always applied implicitly
schema.org	General web vocabulary: addresses (PostalAddress), organisations, events	Reused as attribute IRIs, as Smart Data Models does
SAREF	ETSI ontologies for smart appliances, energy and buildings	Used together with NGSI-LD
W3C SOSA/SSN	Sensor and observation ontology	Reference for observation models

Japan

Catalog	Content	NGSI-LD
Digital Agency GIF (Government Interoperability Framework)	Core data models (person, legal entity, address, facility, building and more) and domain implementation models. Published as XSD and Excel. GitHub	Needs mapping. JapaneseAddress maps to the GIF address
自治体標準オープンデータセット (municipal standard open datasets), formerly 推奨データセット	Standard formats for municipal open data (shelters, AEDs, public facilities, events and more). CSV column definitions	Needs mapping. NGSI-LD versions are planned in this catalog
Address Base Registry	Base data for addresses including the town id (町字ID)	Referenced by abrMachiazaId in JapaneseAddress
Spatial ID (guideline)	METI, MLIT, GSI, NEDO and IPA. A common identifier for 3D space and the guideline for using it with time as 4D spatiotemporal information	Native in GeonicDB

Finding a model in Smart Data Models

Use the search on the Smart Data Models site or browse the dataModel.<Subject> repositories in the smart-data-models GitHub organisation. GeonicDB's MCP tool data_models lists and searches them too.

To extend a model you found for Japan, see Extend and contribute. To have it listed in this catalog, open an issue.
