AN EXTENSIBLE GRAPHIC CONTAINER WITH INTEGRATED ONTOLOGICAL LAYER FOR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

摘要

In domains where the object control is made via graphic interfaces is necessary to develop generic interfaces to improve their employ and the user acceptance degree. In the transportation domain the interfaces are basically based on object control that allows to the road operator to manage the different traffic elements. The most usual interfaces are proprietary and it implies the use of several terminals to manage different systems. In this paper a Generic interface is presented. The extensible Graphic Container-XGC allows to create a standard user interface able to integrate different systems. The system presents several good features: 1) traffic ontology is used to develop the object systems and to provide semantic knowledge; 2) the container is developed in Java which allows to use it in different platforms; 3) open source approach.
