Routable tiles ontology

This is a draft version of the Routable Tiles ontology. It is a best-effort attempt at defining OSM tags and their semantics. It is largely based on the definitions on the OSM wiki, and there are prov:wasInfluencedBy triples pointing to the Wiki pages.

There are three core classes, representing the OSM data elements: Node, Way, and Relation.

OSM keys are predicates, sticking as close to the familiar OSM format as possible:

OSM Key	Predicate
access=*	osm:access
barrier=*	osm:barrier
bicycle=*	osm:bicyle
construction=*	osm:construction
crossing=*	osm:crossing
cycleway=*	osm:cycleway
highway=*	osm:highway
maxspeed=*	osm:maxspeed
motor_vehicle=*	osm:motor_vehicle
motorcar=*	osm:motorcar
name=*	osm:name
oneway:bicycle=*	osm:oneway_bicycle
oneway=*	osm:oneway
smoothness=*	osm:smoothness
surface=*	osm:surface
tracktype=*	osm:tracktype
vehicle=*	osm:vehicle

There are two additional predicates:

• hasNodes, to define which nodes are part of a way
• hasTag: raw tags in the {key}={value} format, should be useful for all the tags that don't have defined semantics (yet)
