Transcript

1. iRail Supporting digital creativity concerning mobility. @iRail @pietercolpaert
3. http://api.irail.be/stations?format=xml&lang=en 2010 Over 100k requests per day ⇒ our stable API
7. What about → archiving/predicting delays and platform changes? → linking to other APIs/systems of e.g., other countries? → machine interpretability on the Web?
8. Introducing irail.be 3.0-alpha → Mobile apps & API share URI space (content-negotiation) → JSON-LD responses (using the transit: vocabulary) → URIs for stations and their departures → archives all data at archive.irail.be
9. Introducing irail.be 3.0-alpha $ curl https://irail.be/stations/NMBS -H “accept: application/json”
10. → no.
11. The open transport vocabularies https://github.com/opentransport/vocabulary (WIP) We welcome contributions about: 1. Linked GTFS for exchanging and linking time schedules 2. StopTimes vocabulary for JSON-LD APIs 3. DCAT theme taxonomy for transport data
12. Thoughts... Agile & open development in SemWeb? → You have to get the semantics right → But what if you’re a first mover? HTTPS? Paging? Real-time? → Let’s start building on HTTP2.0? Hypermedia APIs and clients on transit info: → This is going to be huge
