CityVerve
• €20m collaborative R&D project, with UK government investing €15m
– Large-scale deployment of IOT
• Delivers Smart City networks, platforms and infrastructure and demonstrators
• Central to this will be BT’s data hub, interoperating via Hypercat with a range of other platforms
– Interoperability is in our DNA
CityVerve’s Use Cases – Themes
Transport and Travel
Health and Social Care Culture & the public realm
Energy & the environment

Interoperability
“Interoperability is essential to unlock 40% of the $11 trillion potential value of the IoT” (McKinsey)

IOT Hubs & data interoperability
ETSI “knowledge gap” Data hubs lower the barrier to participation and avoid silos: • Interoperation between hubs • Resource discovery and access (what data
does this hub have? how do I get it? what other hubs are there?)
Hypercat is a specification which allows these questions to be answered

Hypercat
• HyperCat is a file format and a common web API • It has a small set of mandatory core metadata
– horizontal – can link to domain-specific vertical
vocabularies (ontologies) • It exists at application layer (OSI Layer 7) • It uses well-understood web technologies (REST,
JSON) • It is publically available and unencumbered
• A machine-readable catalogue for IoT data • Status: British Standards Institute PAS (Publically
available specification)

We are not short of initiatives…
Transition phase from specifications to standards Hypercat is an example
Service layer and infrastructure layer are linked but separate We need articulation at the service layer level
Service platform vs Technology platforms
Can we imagine a Programmable City Specification? Replicable
Scalable
Avoiding duplication of effort
Interoperability across domains/silos
At what level(s) of abstraction?
Interoperable with other verticals as far as possible
