With the growth of location-based information and the widespread adoption of mobile devices and connected sensors, human mobility has recently emerged as an important research area. Nowadays, the exponential development of mobile sensors and the Internet of Things offers many opportunities for the integration of real-time data on humans acting in indoor and outdoor environments. Moreover, mobile crowd-sensing allows volunteers to actively provide real-time trajectory and activity data (Guo et al., 2015). However, such crowd-sourcing data are most often heterogeneous in space and time and require a flexible data model that can integrate the data as they are and provide data manipulation and analysis capabilities to reformat the data at the appropriate level of abstraction. Understanding urban mobility patterns, together with associated contextual information, requires a sound integration of the modelling level within current information infrastructures. Such development appears as
