The technical architecture of BODIK R&D is a lightweight yet extensible infrastructure configuration designed not merely to publish and store public data, but to simultaneously enable AI-based interpretation, cross-municipal reuse, real-time connectivity, and sustained operation in the public sector.
Design not to add complexity, but to enhance connectivity.
A six-layer structure supporting publication, collection, semantic enrichment, cross-sectional use, and dynamic connectivity.
Data is handled through the flow of being "discovered, prepared, understood, and used." Each layer relates not only as a sequential process but in a cyclical relationship.
In the public sector, fully replacing existing configurations with new ones — disregarding past demonstrations, existing deployed assets, and connectivity requirements with other infrastructure — is not realistic. By building NGSI interfaces into new environments, it becomes possible to extend the scope of connectivity incrementally while making use of existing assets.
BODIK R&D's position is not a binary choice between "FIWARE or non-FIWARE," but rather designing configurations that are more flexible and sustainable while remaining connected to existing infrastructure.
What is needed in the public sector is infrastructure that is easy to deploy, easy to understand, easy to maintain, and capable of incremental expansion. Even a large and complex infrastructure that is theoretically feature-rich tends to create barriers to adoption and sustained operation in the field.
