New project proposal: Routing ontology #1150

Open lvdbrink opened 4 years ago

lvdbrink commented 4 years ago

There is an opportunity for collaboration between OGC and W3C on automotive standards, specifically on routing. There was a W3C workshop [1] on this topic in september 2019. One of the outcomes was that participants would like to see a common ontology for routes.

OGC has conducted a Routing Pilot. The work done is described in two Engineering Reports. One is a summary and defines the Route Exchange Model, the other specifies the Web API. (NB 20191206 These are still being being processed by OGC staff and should be published soon).

@cportele was involved in this work, see https://github.com/cportele/route.

Potential for collaboration beween W3C/OGC includes standardizing a Routing ontology within or with help (liaison incubation) from W3C Spatial Data on the Web group.

Both the Route Exchange Model and Routing API are being further exercised in the SCIRA Pilot. As @cportele has shown (https://github.com/cportele/route/blob/master/route) the terms from those model can be used to form a simple routing ontology. There is the possibility of using this together with more involved models from NDS and GDF to come up with a routing ontology modular design. Ideally this would be carried out in conjunction with routing standards development on the OGC side.

Quick update. Work on routing is currently going on in both OGC and W3C - fortunately without overlap :-) ... @cportele is involved in the work across both organisations. Thanks Clemens for operating as the linkage here!

Work is clearly getting done - so moving this to "in progress"

Is there any place to see the current status and mailing list \ github where the discussion can be tracked?

The repository is at https://github.com/w3c/tocc.

The group is still defining the scope and process of the work. Once this done - hopefully over the next few weeks - the work should shift to working on the contents. Routing will be the first topic, but in general the scope is wider (transportation, smart cities).

@cportele I've not yet read the Use Cases at https://github.com/w3c/tocc, but I hope there will be some 3/4D ones, for ground based transport. E.g. a route over a Digital Terrain Model so that 1) fuel consumption could be optimised at differing altitudes; 2) exposure to different weather at different times and altitudes, such as wind or freezing, could be calculated. Moving Features and API - EDR have used consistent definitions of trajectories (simple route!) in WKT to these ends.

Does routing build on some existing transportation network model/ontology?
