Preliminary Study of Existing Transportation Data Standards

The objective of the current report is to present the existing mechanisms and standards for the distribution and presentation of transport related data. In order to provide a spherical and integrated demonstration of the existing transport data related services in this document we undertook the following approach. First a short presentation of the existing standards is provided. Second, a more analytical description of these standards focusing also in the synergy amongst them is presented and finally we outline a list of existing transport related services in various European services, which are using the presented standards and might be useful for the future developments of the eCOMPASS project.
