Abstract

Railway networks comprise a large number of information systems, many of which are implemented by different stakeholders according to different design requirements, and in different ways. Owing to the safety-critical nature of these systems, data is rarely shared across boundaries, and the potential for re-use of information is lost. Using ontology, it is hoped that information from these systems can be extracted and shared, in order to facilitate better operational decision-making. This paper examines the aspects of data re-use likely to benefit the industry, and describes a railway condition monitoring ontology that is being designed in conjunction with several industrial stakeholders to improve operational efficiency.
