An Axiomatic Approach towards Interoperability of Data in Intermodal Transport:The Intermodal Core Ontology

Key Points

• Interoperability enhances the exchange of data across different transport modalities, with a common core ontology supporting this process.
• The framework discusses how modality-specific ontologies can be integrated to create a unified data system in transport.
• A hub ontology is proposed that remains independent of specific transport modalities for better cooperation and data sharing.
• Promoting interoperability in transport may lead to more efficient logistics, reduced costs, and improved service.
