Master: Develop:

The Context Broker Data Visualisation is an enabler which consists on a visualisation layer over the Context Broker. It provides the following features:

Real-time data visualisation through geo-localized sensors on a map, based on the information from the Orion Context Broker.
Historical data visualisation for the sensors in table and graph formats, taking advantage of historical data tools like Cygnus and STH-Comet.
Easy Configuration page for the integration with the Context Broker and the historical data tools.
Integration with more than one Context Broker instance at the same time.
Deployment in local environments or FIWARE lab (Sandbox).

For more information, read the Objective section.

The Context Broker Data Visualisation is a FIWARE Generic Enabler. Therefore, it can be integrated as part of any platform “Powered by FIWARE”. FIWARE is a curated framework of open source platform components which can be assembled together with other third-party platform components to accelerate the development of Smart Solutions.

You can find more info at the FIWARE developers website and the FIWARE website.

The complete list of FIWARE GEs and Incubated FIWARE GEs can be found at the FIWARE Catalogue.

Objective

The Context Broker Data Visualisation enabler was created with the aim of:

Facilitating the experimentation and learning for new stakeholders in the Sandbox with the Context Broker, using a visualization layer.
Facilitating the adoption of the Context Broker for new solutions.
Increasing the developer's community around the Context Broker.
Creating an enabler that could be reused in smart city verticals.

It is a learning tool for data visualisation, not a product.

It could also be adapted to the needs of different users by developing its own features, taking advantage of the base of the enabler. More information can be found in the documentation section.

Context Broker instances with real data

The following links provide documentation of some Context Broker instances with real data. All of them are open data, so it can be used for testing purposes. Those Context Brokers could be integrated with the enabler:

FIWARE Data Streams: Data of environment, point of interest and weather.
Opplafy.eu: Data of parkings, traffic alers, buses, traffic cameras, etc.

Note that the previous links are external instances and are not maintained by the developers of the enabler.

Additionally, it is also possible to generate test data to be used in the enabler. The procedure is detailed in the tutorials of deployment documentation.
