Breaking News: W3C Automotive Ontology Community Group

On May 8, 2015, we founded a W3C Community Group. In the coming weeks, we will gradually migrate this informal working group into that framework. This will provide a much more reliable legal and organizational environment for our work. Stay tuned!

Aim and Scope

The Automotive Ontology Working Group is an informal group of individuals and corporations who want to advance the use of shared conceptual structures in the form of Web ontologies for better data interoperability in the automotive industry, and this at Web scale. In particular, we want to develop
  • extension proposals for schema.org so that automotive information can be better understood by search engines and
  • OWL Web ontologies for the automotive industry.
Also, we want to provide a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners who are working on advancing the field.
