The contribution of Work Package 1 to other WP

As first of the overall seven work packages WP1, concerning the requirements for FIWARE4WATER is now finished. In the last months, we evaluated all the information gathered through the workshops at our four demo cases and the two surveys we conducted to define the requirements we have to meet so that FIWARE4WATER will become the well-known and widely used platform for digital applications for the whole water sector we wish it to be.

As can be seen in the figure the requirements we defined in WP1 are an important contribution to the other WPs. They include technical, functional and general requirements for the FIWARE4WATER project as well as necessary actions concerning communication and dissemination.

One the one hand technical and functional requirements will be an important base for the development of the necessary architecture of FIWARE concerning for example data storage and transfer or interoperability. On the other hand, functional and general requirements are a key point when it comes to the design of the smart applications and devices. For public outreach, we mainly need to communicate the functions already available in FIWARE. We have found out that FIWARE already fulfils many of the set requirements, but most people are not aware of this.

If you are interested in the specific requirements and derived actions, you can have a look at the deliverables D1.1 to D1.3 covering the requirements from the demo cases, from end-users and for innovation or D1.4 including the final requirements list and derived actions. All these are publicly available on our project website www.fiware4water.eu in the Documents section.
