MONITORING & RESPONSE

THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES

Existing NGSI-LD viewers are developer-only or vendor-locked. None are built for the operations teams running platforms today, or for AI agents querying brokers programmatically.

TELESCOPIUM is the viewer for the next decade — a clean, role-aware UI that lets human operators browse entities, inspect relationships, query history, and generate fixtures, plus a structured API surface that LLMs and agents can navigate without breaking. One viewer, two audiences, one platform.

WHAT YOU'll GET

See your data - no code required

Connect to your broker and the entities are just there: browse by type, filter, search. No SDK, no dashboard build, no query language to memorise.

read ngsi-ld, not json

Each entity opens as a structured grid - attribute, type, value, observedAt, unitCode - with the raw JSON-LD one click away when you want to argue with it

Run anywhere

The AI chat panel sees the selected entity. "Explain this," "what looks wrong," "compare to yesterday" - answered in plain language, grounded in the data in front of you.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

CAPABILITIES

Connect to any NGSI-LD broker - Orion-LD, Scorpio, or Stellio - over the standard API.
Browse & filter entities by type, id, and attribute, with full-text search across the set.
Structured JSON-LD datagrid: attribute name, type (Property / Relationship / GeoProperty), value, observedAt, unitCode, datasetId, with expandable sub-attributes.
Raw JSON-LD view on a clean, light editor - one click from the grid.
Temporal history per attribute - open a row, see the values over time.
Import & export entities.
AI chat scoped to the selected entity: explain, spot anomalies, compare.

SCOPE

TELESCOPIUM is a focused viewer. It does one thing well and hands the rest to the suite:

Viewing, browsing, AI Q&A → TELESCOPIUM
API gateway & access control → LIBRA
Ingestion & mapping into NGSI-LD → CASSIOPEIA
Schema / data-model registry → LYNX
Temporal storage at scale → HOROLOGIUM
Anomaly detection & analytics → CENTAURUS

ARCHITECTURE

Panel 1
- Entity selector - type list plus filter and search over the broker's flat entity collection. Find the thing nobody thought to chart.
Panel 2
- JSON-LD datagrid - the selected entity as a readable grid; raw JSON-LD toggle on a light editor; temporal history per row.
Panel 3
- AI chat - the selected entity in context, so the assistant answers about the data you're actually looking at.

Talks to the broker over the standard NGSI-LD API. Read-only by default — TELESCOPIUM shows, it doesn't silently change.

WHO USES IT

Humans - data stewards, city operators, and the boss who is tired of screenshots: a point-and-look web UI, no broker queries by hand.

AI agents - the same entity context exposed to an assistant, so a model can read and reason over live NGSI-LD the way a person would.
