Ride2Rail Ontology for Agreements

The objective of this ontology is to provide a conceptualization of the basic terms of the agreements modelled in the Ride2Rail Agreement Ledger Module considering the terminology and the ontologies already defined within IP4 to support interoperability through shared semantics.

The definition of an ontology to represent contracts defined through the Ride2Rail Agreement Ledger component enables the possibility of having a machine-readable and interoperable representation of the agreements. On one hand, the underlying blockchain ensures the trust about the execution of the contracts, on the other hand, their ontological representation facilitates the retrieval of information within the Shift2Rail IP4 ecosystem.
