[Open-transport] OKFest 2014

[ding c. (cd8e10)]

Hi Pieter,

Just a idea about accessible transport, there is no standard vocabulary to describe the accessibility facilities for the public transport. There is some open data available, such as Transport for London, a xml based dataset provide accessibility metadata for London tube stations and Nation Rail also provides html based website to provide accessible travelling information. However, no standard vocabularies to describe these information. Is it possible to link the accessibility metadata to the open transport vocabularies to provide much information for people's needs. This would also be a benefit for using open transport data.

Kind regards,

Hey Peter,

How about getting people together to do an editathon for the open
transport vocabulary on the one hand, and a referential database for
stop_point identifiers on the other hand?

Kind regards,

Pieter
