Regarding adding links from GTFS to tio discussion:

GTFS at this moment doesn't have a class for something called a Ticket. It does however have a class for a FareClass which can be applied on certain parts of the schedule using FareRules.

[elf-pavlik]

IMO a trip planing app will need a way to show which tickets one can use to take given trip

@mfhepp how do you see gtfs:FareClass and gtfs:FareRules mapping to TIO?

• https://github.com/OpenTransport/vocabulary/tree/master/gtfs#gtfsfareclass
• https://github.com/OpenTransport/vocabulary/tree/master/gtfs#gtfsfarerule

We could also try out 15 days on InterRail use case: http://www.interrail.eu/interrail-passes/global-pass#adult

In fact... I was wrong before... A gtfs:FareClass could be a similar class as tio:TicketPlaceholder

@mfhepp do you now of a way to include in a ticket features offered by particular vehicle used in the trip?

e.g.

• power plugs (+which standard)
• internet / wlan
• toilet
• sleeping beds

etc.

[mfhepp]

I think the new schema:additionalProperty pattern will fit, for a preview see http://sdo-property-value-and-cars.appspot.com/additionalProperty

[elf-pavlik]

@mfhepp I don't see need to limit ourselves to capacities of schema.org vocab. I thought that you work on some vehicle related vocabularies which may already have properties for describing such features. Ticket could reference a particular vehicle (similar to http://schema.org/IndividualProduct ) which would have all the information about power plugs, wlan etc.

[mfhepp]

The most comprehensive, GoodRelations-compliant vocabulary for describing vehicles is the new schema.org branch for vehicles. It defines standard properties for many characteristics of cars and supersedes the VSO ontology. In combination with schema:additionalProperty, you should find everything you need. See

http://sdo-property-value-and-cars.appspot.com/Car
http://sdo-property-value-and-cars.appspot.com/additionalProperty
http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/Vehicles (not perfectly in sync with the latest version of the extension).

Older approaches, mostly reflected in this, are
