    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.

      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.
