    description: >-
      The NGSI-LD API defined by ETSI ISG CIM is a Cross-domain Context
      Information Management API that allows applications to provide, consume,
      and subscribe to context information in multiple scenarios and involving
      multiple stakeholders. It is the linked-data evolution of the NGSI
      specification and forms the foundation of FIWARE-based smart solutions.

    description: >-
      The NGSI v2 API is the previous generation context broker specification
      that established the patterns later evolved into NGSI-LD. It is widely
      implemented by Orion Context Broker and is still in use across many
      FIWARE-based deployments for managing entities, attributes, and
      subscriptions.
