Fiware-poi refers to the Points of Interest Generic Enabler (POI GE) developed as a part of the FIWARE platform.
A POI GE is an implementation of the FIWARE POI Open Specification and is developed as a part of the FIWARE platform.
A POI GE provides spatial search services and data on Points of Interest via RESTful web service API. The data model for representing POIs is modular. The data related to a POI is stored in different data components, which are linked to the POI using the UUID. These data components are independent of each other and POIs can have a different set of components. This enables the concept to serve a wide range of interest groups, as the data model can easily be extended by application specific data components.
Special features
- Application specific data components
- Different servers may have different set of data components for the same POI
RESTful web service API for querying and modifying POI data
- Spatially limited searches
- Searches constrained to specific categories e.g. dining, golf course, cemetery, dentist, casino, museum, etc.
- Temporal constraints, e.g. for finding restaurants that are currently open
- POI data modification functionality (add, update, delete)
