⁠Scorpio Context Broker

NGSI-LD Context Broker

Scorpio is an NGSI-LD compliant context broker developed by NEC Laboratories Europe and NEC Technologies India. It implements the full NGSI-LD API⁠ as specified by the ETSI Industry Specification Group on cross cutting Context Information Management (ETSI ISG CIM⁠).

The NGSI-LD API enables the management, access and discovery of context information. Context information consists of entities (e.g. a building) and their properties (e.g. address and geographic location) and relationships (e.g. owner). Thus Scorpio enables applications and services to request context information – what they need, when they need it and how they need it.

The functionalities of the NGSI-LD API include:

• Create, update, append and delete context infomration.
• Query context information, including filtering, geographic scoping and paging.
• Subscribe to changes in context information and receive asynchronous notifications.
• Register and discover sources of context information, which allows building distributed and federated deployments.

To get you quickly started you can just choose on of the provided docker-compose files and start it up.

Scorpio 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. The roadmap of this FIWARE GE is described here⁠.
