Fiware-orion refers to the Orion Context Broker, a C++ implementation of the NGSIv2 REST API binding developed as a part of the FIWARE platform.
The Orion Context Broker is an implementation of the Publish/Subscribe Context Broker GE, providing the NGSIv2 interface to manage context information and its availability. Using this interface, clients can do several operations:
- Create context information, e.g. a temperature sensor within a room
- Update context information, e.g. send updates of temperature
- Being notified when some condition occurs, e.g. the temperature has changed
- Query context information. The Orion Context Broker stores context information updated from applications, so queries are resolved based on that information.
- Register context provider applications, e.g. a temperature sensor within a room is provided by some third-party context provider
