“…The resulting user group classification has the following main groups: (1) lower limb impairment, (2) wheelchair users, (3) upper limb impairment, (4) upper body impairment, (5) physiological impairment, (6) psychological impairment, (7) cognitive impairment, (8) vision impairment, (9) hearing impairment, (10) communication production/receiving impairment. Sommer et al (2006) and Wiethoff et al (2007) described in detail the methodological approach for defining the user requirements, based on Action theory and Activity theory.…”

“…Due to the complex conditions of travelling, to address the discordance between the expectation of people with disabilities and transport patterns would be a significant challenge [5]. There have been several projects proposed for improving accessibility for people with special needs or disabilities [1], [6], [8]. According to the literature review [3], there have been some problems identified in these projects, such as accessibility information isolated in different systems, information overloading and difficulty for fetching useful content.…”

This paper presents the research of using Linked Data for enhancing accessibility data, especially for accessible travelling. With the aim of addressing the gap between users' special needs and accessibility data, this research initially explores the current situation of open accessibility data. Open accessibility data is the data related to the accessibility issues and associated with geographical data, which could benefit people with disabilities or special needs. This paper proposed a survey of open accessibility data in UK based on the datasets retrieved from five different resources. After examining the features of each dataset, a mapping approach using Semantic Web technologies is proposed to interlink these datasets together to generate a linked open accessibility repository and link this repository to other resources on the Linked Open Data Cloud (LODC). As a result, this research would not only benefit people with disabilities, but also contribute to a novel method to address accessibility information barriers by establishing a linked open accessibility data repository for publishing, integrating and consuming the accessibility data.

Abstract. This paper presents the research of using Linked Open Data to enhance accessibility data for accessible travelling. Open accessibility data is the data related to the accessibility issues associated with geographical data, which could benefit people with disabilities and their special needs. With the aim of addressing the gap between users' special needs and data, this paper presents the results of a survey of open accessibility data retrieved from four different sources in the UK. An ontology based data integration approach is proposed to interlink these datasets together to generate a linked open accessibility repository, which also links to other resources on the Linked Data Cloud. As a result, this research would not only enrich the open accessibility data, but also contribute to a novel framework to address accessibility information barriers by establishing a linked data repository for publishing, linking and consuming the open accessibility data.
