Introduction : Jose M. Cantera : Telefonica

[JOSE MANUEL CANTERA FONSECA]

Dear all,

My name is Jose Cantera, I’m with Telefónica, telco operator. I’ve been working in the past in different Web-related projects (MyMobileWeb, FirefoxOS, …) and contributed to W3C standards in the area of the mobile web, mobile devices and device APIs.  Since 2015 I work in the FIWARE Project (http://developer.fiware.org)  now evolving towards an open source community. Among others, FIWARE aims at harmonizing APIs and data models in the Internet of Things  arena, see [1], [2] [3].

Since I’ve started working in FIWARE and IoT related stuff,  I’ve been advocating schema.org as I think it is a pragmatic and effective vocabulary-based approach of accomplishing what the semantic web promised but never delivered. I feel excited about the launch of iot.schema.org as it fits perfectly within our view of harmonized APIs and data models for data portability in smart applications which exploit real time data. 

In addition, I’m contributing, together with other telco operators, to the IoT Big Data Ecosystem project of the GSMA. Such project is defining harmonized APIs and data models for different IoT related domains, and the good news, is that we are reusing schema.org! . Last but not least I’m currently leading, within the FIWARE open source community, the development of different harmonized data models [4] [5] (ongoing effort) intended to model different aspects related to the smart city domain (Parking, Streetlight, Waste Management) [3]. We aim to contribute both the GSMA and FIWARE work to iot.schema.org. 

I look forward to working with you and to contributing to this exciting effort 

All the best
