Publishing and linking transport data on the Web

TL;DR

This paper presents a workflow for publishing and linking transport data on the Web, enabling enhanced transport applications through data integration and linking with other datasets.

Contribution

It introduces a novel workflow for publishing and linking transport data on the Web, demonstrated on French transport datasets NEPTUNE and Passim.

Findings

Transport data can be effectively linked to other datasets.

The workflow enables development of richer transport applications.

Linked data enhances data reuse and integration.

Abstract

Without Linked Data, transport data is limited to applications exclusively around transport. In this paper, we present a workflow for publishing and linking transport data on the Web. So we will be able to develop transport applications and to add other features which will be created from other datasets. This will be possible because transport data will be linked to these datasets. We apply this workflow to two datasets: NEPTUNE, a French standard describing a transport line, and Passim, a directory containing relevant information on transport services, in every French city.
