Abstract

This document is the deliverable D4.1 "Developers toolkit and deployment support" and presents the outcome of the activities T4.1 "ACTIVAGE Development tools" and T4.3 "ACTIVAGE Deployment tools" which are part of Work Package WP4 "ACTIVAGE Application support tools and services layer". The document makes a status of existing development and deployment tools prior to the ACTIVAGE project and describes the ones that are under progress to fulfill ACTIVAGE dedicated requirements. The requirements are presented in Section 2, and the Use Cases in Section 3, precising the uses by the kind of developer profiles listed in section 3.1. The presented tools in Section 4 allow the development of applications (developed for ACTIVAGE by third parties) on top of each given platform among the seven selected as ACTIVAGE IoT platforms (Fiware, openiot, IoTivity, seniorsome, sensiNact, Sofia2 and universAAL). They are used by application developers and platform contributors. For more details about the seven ACTIVAGE IoT platforms, please refer to the D3.1 Report on IoT European Platforms. The presented tools in Section 5 are the ones used in the nine ACTIVAGE deployment sites to support their hardware device installations and middleware installation on the resulting IT infrastructure. They are used by installation/deployment and IT teams. These existing development and deployment tools are available today and constitute the first step of ACTIVAGE toolkit: they are heterogeneous tools available for dedicated platforms and for specific deployment sites. Further works in tasks T4.1 and T4.3 will aim to complete the IoT platform dedicated tools with ACTIVAGE common development and deployment tools based on the common ACTIVAGE APIs under specification.

Abstract

quest projecte consisteix a desenvolupar una nova versió de l'API de geolocalització de TooPath utilitzant les tecnologies actuals. La nova versió oferirà un sistema de seguiment per a qualsevol tipus de dispositiu electrònic i una web per consumir i demostrar les funcionalitats de l'API.

Abstract

Bibliometrics is facing an intricate universe of data that is constantly changing and expanding, with a wide ecosystem of data sources in which it is easy to get lost. In this complex setting, APIs are positioned as the perfect solution to deal with this heterogeneity and to obtain adapted data. Although APIs have not come as a surprise, it is now time to highlight their value and promote their use, which will make them easier to utilize. In this paper we therefore take a practical approach to APIs in the bibliometrics field. To this end, we provide an introduction to APIs and the new work processes that their use entails. We also offer a corpus in which we compile 49 APIs of interest to bibliometricians, organized by type and access, as well as programming packages in R and Python that facilitate their use.
