O-CEI Horizon will contribute to ETSI NGSI-LD interoperability and standardisation activities
O-CEI partners NEC and Seamware will participate in the ETSI NGSI-LD Testing Task Force, taking place from 20 to 23 July 2026 at the ETSI Headquarters in Sophia-Antipolis, France.
Organised by ETSI Technical Committee DATA, this Task Force brings together NGSI-LD implementation providers and stakeholders to advance interoperability testing, conformance validation, and the continued evolution of the NGSI-LD context information protocol and APIs (ETSI GS CIM 009). NGSI-LD is a key enabler for Smart Cities, IoT applications, digital twins, and data-driven digital ecosystems.
During the event, NEC’s Scorpio Broker and the Orion-LD Broker, maintained by Seamware, will participate in interoperability and conformance testing activities alongside other NGSI-LD implementations. Both solutions are part of the O-CEI catalogue and represent important building blocks for enabling interoperable Cloud-Edge-IoT environments.
NGSI-LD also plays a central role in the Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC) Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms (MIMs), which provide a foundation for achieving interoperability across heterogeneous systems, platforms, and domains. O-CEI considers the adoption of open standards and specifications such as NGSI-LD and the MIMs as essential to accelerating the deployment of reusable and interoperable Cloud-Edge-IoT solutions.
This participation comes after last year’s attendance to NGSI-LD (Next Generation Service Interface – Linked Data) Plugtests™ event. Find more information about it here. (Hyperlink to: https://o-cei.eu/etsi-ngsi-ld-plugteststm-event/)
Through their participation, NEC and Seamware contribute to strengthening standardisation activities within the O-CEI ecosystem, supporting the validation and adoption of open, scalable, and interoperable technologies across Europe.
