An overview of the ISO/JTC.1/WG.11 initiative to develop a city data standard for smart cities to enhance semantic interoperability across services. The process is open, accessible via GitHub, and involves proposing, refining, and converging concepts with a focus on transportation services.

Open Process for the Development of a City Data StandardISO/JTC 1 WG 11 Smart Cities Mark Fox, Megan Katsumi Enterprise Integration Lab (eil.utoronto.ca) University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute (uttri.ca) University of Toronto W3C Workshop on Data Models for Transportation September 2019
The City Data Model • New work item proposal in ISO WG11 Smart Cities • Goal: specify a standard to enable semantic interoperability across city services • City services: both physical and social • How? • Provide an ontology-based model of the common concepts required to represent city services’ data • 3-part standard, divided by level of abstraction
City Data Model Levels Service Level (Transportation):Concepts that are created by asingle service but can be usedby other services. City Level:Concepts that are created and used by many services within a city. Foundation Level:Upper level ontologies that are foundational to all information.
“Open” Development Process • Process will be open and contents accessible over the web • Github-based – visible to all • Only registered users can contribute to the process • Process – time limited per proposed concept • Propose – concept to be included at a level • Level • Use cases • Concept definition in OWL and UML • Examples of use • Comment • Refine • Converge • Liaisons with interested SDOs, e.g., TC204
