Travel Ontology

The mobility ontology serves two purposes: a representation of a shared conceptualisation of knowledge about the mobility of visually impaired people, and a controlled, shared vocabulary that can be communicated across applications. In the context of the semiautomated tool that we aim to provide for the travel support, the ontology will be used as the controlled vocabulary to drive the transformations. Fundamentally, the mobility ontology encodes three groups of concepts which hold information about: The context of a journey; The role of the travel objects: objects can have a journey role which depends on the context of the undertaken journey and can also have one (or more) environmental role(s); The authoring concepts encapsulate the knowledge from hypermedia design and previous work on transcoding.
