Racoon

The original railway core ontology, itself split into a number of modules:

• UB

  The upper level ontology. You can choose between a 3D or 4D (including time) model for the highest level concepts. To date the 3D model has been preferred. The 4D model requires more processing and hasn't been used in real life projects.

• Rail

  Concepts pertaining to the entire rail domain

• Other

  Concepts applying to specific project or sub-domain

• Scripts

  Very implementation specific scripts to load the data into stardog (predating stardog being available in a container).
