How to define the entityId in Orion


I have to use Orion (NGSI v2), and I have a question about the name of entityId of my context;

could I use a simple ID or URN (like NGSI-LD spec)?

What is the best practice? Thanks a lot


Solution

  • I think it is better to use URIs for your entities, your path to Linked Data will be smoother. The problem with table names should be fixed by the data storage component for instance by calculating a hash of the URI and converting it to the proper alphabet supported by the database concerning table names ...
