Linked data-driven decision support for accessible travelling
Chaohai Ding, Mike Wald, Gary Brian Wills · 2015
With the aim of addressing the gap between users' needs of accessible travelling and complex environmental barriers of physical places in the real world, this paper summarizes the research of investigating the use of Linked Data principles for enhanced accessible travelling decision support. Firstly, this paper reviews current research and projects to identify some problems and challenges. Then a conceptual model and the reference architecture of Linked Data-driven decision support system (DSS) for accessible travelling are proposed to address such problems to enhance the accessible travelling for people with disabilities (PwD), especially for people with mobility difficulties. As a result, this research would not only benefit PwD, but also contribute to the research of a novel model to address accessibility information barriers by applying the Linked Data principles to DSSs for enhanced accessible travelling.
