[Open-transport] Wishes for Open Transit Data

[Pieter Colpaert]

Hi Stefan,

Great job!

It's weird that the 5 stars are mentioned, but only the first 2 or 3 
stars are taken into account. For GTFS I have been creating Linked GTFS 
together with Andrew Byrd: http://vocab.gtfs.org, together with a script 
to convert regular gtfs to linked gtfs: 
https://github.com/OpenTransport/gtfs-csv2rdf. It's not perfect, but it 
does the trick.

The problem is of course: do we want transit agencies to publish data as 
linked data today? My answer would be no: it's too early stage and no 
one is consuming this yet. Currently there's no need, but this need will 
be created when more and more gtfs files are published. It would be 
great to link towards Linked GTFS and say that this is how we envision 
the future of open transport data :)

Kind regards,

Pieter
