This directory contains
subway-ont.owl
(dumpont),
an
OWL
ontology for representing subway maps on the
Semantic Web,
along with instances for several major subway systems.
Approach
We manually generated OWL content based on available subway maps:
subway-ont
uses a concise representation to associate Lines
with an ordered list of Stations.
expand.n3
contains some additional
rules
to directly associate adjacent Stations and
link Stations with the Lines they serve.
Example
dc.svg
was generated from
dc.owl
using
check.java.
Possible Future Directions
- add more information such as schedules, fares, distances, street crossings, historical data, geographic locations, locality boundaries, and connections to airports, trains, buses, ferries, etc.
- apply to additional subway systems
- ...

route planning,
