Abstract

Smart cities usually refer to the use of information and communication technologies to provide citizens with improved city services and quality of life, in an affordable and sustainable way. Geospatial technologies, especially those based on standards, are relevant to this purpose, as location is crucial for organising, processing, and analysing urban information and services. During the last years, many smart cities platforms have emerged to provide support for the design, implementation, deployment, and management of smart cities applications (e.g. FIWARE). Although these platforms frequently consider the spatial dimension, they do not usually provide native support for typical geospatial services (e.g. data access, portrayal, and processing services). Therefore, geospatial-related features provided by applications are usually developed from scratch and on a per-case basis, which leads to code duplication and hinders their implementation agility, maintainability, and reuse. This paper proposes a standards-based solution for geospatial services integration for smart cities platforms, which comprises an overall architecture as well as a reference implementation based on FIWARE and includes three smart cities applications.
