1. FI-WARE POI Data Provider

2. Principles Enables building various location based service (LBS) applications for all kinds of networked devices Distributed and modular data model for representing POIs Data components can be distributed across multiple servers and organisations Client needs to fetch only the data components relevant to the application Easy to extend by introducing new – possibly application dependent – data components
