Abstract

This paper describes the general concept of RouteGraphs, to be used for navigation by various agents in a variety of scenarios. We introduce the concept of an ontology and describe the modelling of general graphs as an example. This approach is then applied to define a “light-weight” ontology of RouteGraphs in an indoors environment, giving at first just a taxonomy of (sub)classes and relations between them, as well as to other (spatial) ontology. Finally, we show how to formalise ontology using a First Order Logic approach, and give an outline of how to develop actual data structures and algorithms for RouteGraphs.
