The sectors of Digital Twins, Virtual Worlds/Citiverse, IoT and Data Spaces are fragmented, especially the uneven uptake of NGSI‑LD, Smart Data Models/SAREF and governance models creates a barrier for cross‑domain interoperability in cities. Therefore, I focus on harmonising these layers within ITU‑T Citiverse and EU Local Digital Twin (LDT) Toolbox. I also contribute to aligning LDT and Data Space governance with UNE 0087:2025 and the Gaia‑X Trust Framework to operationalise sovereignty, compliance and automated conformance. Moreover, I contribute to mapping LDT/MIM8, NGSI‑LD, SIMPL and Citiverse deliverables to speed deployment and avoid duplicate or conflicting specs.
The present document collects information on eXtended Reality (XR) in the context of 5G radio and network services. The primary scope of the present document is the documentation of the following aspects:- introducing Extended Reality by providing definitions, core technology enablers, a summary of devices and form factors, as well as ongoing related work in 3GPP and elsewhere,- collecting and documenting core use cases in the context of Extended Reality,- identifying relevant client and network architectures, APIs and media processing functions that support XR use cases,- analysing and identifying the media formats (including audio and video), metadata, accessibility features, interfaces and delivery procedures between client and network required to offer such an experience,- collecting key performance indicators and Quality-of-Experience metrics for relevant XR services and the applied technology components, and- drawing conclusions on the potential needs for standardisation in 3GPP.
This Group Specification provides additions and corrections to the GS-009 NGSI-LD API specification, based on feedback received from developers in the linked-data, internet-of-things, mobile-apps and smart-applications communities, as well as from end users and stakeholders.
The purpose of this Group Report is to explain with examples the usage of NGSI-LD information model and API, as defined in GS-004 prelimAPI, and considering also some use cases from GR-002 for ICT professionals. Worked examples are provided, with code fragments made available in a public repository. No changes in the GS-004 prelimAPI specification can be introduced or proposed in this document.
