– data licence management.

A crucial aspect of enabling such a marketplace is ecosystem transaction management. This would
need to include functionalities to enable effective matchmaking of urban IoT data sources from
providers with respective data consumers, to facilitate trusted exploitation of such data based on
enforceable data usage agreements and to secure value flow between these stakeholders.

There are various ways of realising such Ecosystem Transaction Management. A standardized way
of doing so is provided by the TM Forum, which has created an API suite of specifications for digital
marketplaces, named the Business API Ecosystem.

8.3.3 Recommended specifications

– TM Forum Open APIs and component suites provide a service and technology neutral suite
of APIs that provide the minimum building blocks for interoperability across all operational
management areas. Each API and component suite provide the specification, reference
implementations and in most cases conformance test kits. Reference Implementations are
available under the Apache2.0 license. These APIs have gained global adoption in the
Telecommunications industry and are proven to maximize re-use. They are designed to be
extendable as required for specific services. The respective data models have been harmonized
with FIWARE and GSMA data models.

8.4 MIM 4: Personal data management

8.4.1 Goals

Personal Data Management (PDM) means providing clear and easily usable means for inhabitants/
users to control which sets/attributes they want to share with solution, application or service
providers under transparent circumstances, enabling trust between the different parties. Inhabitants
should be able to identify themselves with an ID of their choosing and be able to transparently
(dis)allow the service providers to access their data and control the granularity of the access (full,
anonymously).
