Dear Stefano,

Thanks for contacting us.

FIWARE is based on main blocks called GEs (Generic Enablers) that you can install and use. The word "Generic" means that they are not specific to any sector but general purpose. Nearly all of the reference implementations that we provide are free to use (I can only think of one exception that we will replace in the future). These GEs are exposed via services (mainly REST interfaces) and anyone can build his own apps that would talk to and use the capabilities of the GEs of his choice. The REST interfaces are described in the Open Specifications (all of them linked from the catalogue ... read on)

The wiki (http://wiki.fi-ware.org/) has lots of information but part of the GEs on the wiki are no longer maintained by FIWARE. The up to date reference is the catalogue (http://catalogue.fi-ware.org/enablers). All the components there are alive and supported. The Catalogue concentrates all the pointers to the materials related to a given GE in the wiki or other places without the need to search everywhere. It also shows you the Terms and Conditions in a dedicated tab. I would go to the catalogue and see if the GEs there are useful for you.

There is a free experimentation environment called FIWARE Lab ( https://lab.fi-ware.org/). This environment allows you to deploy GEs and try them. We are progressively incorporating automated deployment facilities to easily install instances of our software on top of your virtual infrastructure on FIWARE Lab. There are quite a few GEri already there for you to deploy with a few clicks. This is the recommended approach vs downloading the software and installing it locally.

Our eLearning web site (FIWARE Academy - http://edu.fi-ware.org/) is also there for you to use. Most of the times you'll get a link to this tool from the catalogue if there is a course for the GE you are browsing on the catalogue.

It depends a lot on what you want to do exactly with the marketplace, the choice will vary. The idea is that, as said, we provide Generic enablers (generic means general purpose and not specialised in any sector) and you develop your app adding all the specific functionality you may need. We do have a marketplace GE but I believe it is not exactly what you look for (user manual: http://wiki.fi-ware.org/Marketplace_-_User_and_Programmer_Guide)

My advise is to go to the catalogue and see the enablers we have to see if they suit you. Many could be of your interest but I suspect that you may want to concentrate on 2 chapters: "Applications and services" and less likely, "Data context management". The IoT chapter (Internet of things) is interesting if you deal with events and/or sensors. The security chapter can be interesting if you need control of access/user authentication.

Another possibility is that there is, as you point out, looking into the details of a use case project. The European Union has supported a project that was actually devoted loads of effort to experimentation with FIWARE specifically in the energy sector. This project is called FINESCE (www.finesce.eu<http://www.finesce.eu>).

These are the details:

And the contact point is here:

It may be a very good idea to get in contact with them to see if they can offer any help.

I hope that this helps

Hi,
My name is Stefano Esposito and I am interested in participating to one of the FiWare Accelerators Programmes.
Unfortunately, our development competencies are limited and I am having difficulties into understanding the exact way in which I could use FiWare technology and its enablers.
Supposing that I would like to develop a marketplace for renewable energies, which do you think are the best FiWare modules to start with?
Could you kindly give me any Use Case?

Thank you very much and best regards.
