An ontological infrastructure for the automatic control of freight transport

Published: 10 September 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Currently, freight transport carried through a country or through different countries undergoes many delays due to merchandise controls. Merchandise control is only carried out at some border posts or when the authorities demand it. Such control can be an important problem since there are different laws for the same merchandise, according to the legislation of the country and even within the same country.
Nowadays there are vocabularies or languages that describe concepts and structures of data related to transport, but the description is just syntactic, not semantic. Therefore the objective to be reached in this part of the research has been to develop a representation scheme of a particular domain, freight transport, with a well defined semantics based on laws. The use of this semantic will allow us to obtain a formalized knowledge that will enable the development of a conceptual infrastructure, to exchange and control goods information between trucks and external entities.
