MAT-Builder: a system to build semantically enriched trajectories
Pugliese C., Lettich F., Renso C., Pinelli F.
The notion of multiple aspect trajectory (MAT) has been recently introduced in the literature to represent movement data that is heavily semantically enriched with dimensions (aspects) representing various types of semantic information (e.g., stops, moves, weather, traffic, events, and points of interest). Aspects may be large in number, heterogeneous, or structurally complex. Although there is a growing volume of literature addressing the modelling and analysis of multiple aspect trajectories, the community suffers from a general lack of publicly available datasets. This is due to privacy concerns that make it difficult to publish such type of data, and to the lack of tools that are capable of linking raw spatio-temporal data to different types of semantic contextual data. In this work we aim to address this last issue by presenting MAT-Builder, a system that not only supports users during the whole semantic enrichment process, but also allows the use of a variety of external data sources. Furthermore, MAT-Builder has been designed with modularity and extensibility in mind, thus enabling practitioners to easily add new functionalities. The running example provided towards the end of the paper highlights how MAT-Builder's main features allow users to easily generate multiple aspect trajectories, hence benefiting the mobility data analysis community.Source: SEBD 2022 - 30th Italian Symposium on Advanced Database Systems, pp. 175–182, Tirrenia, Pisa, Italy, 19-22/06/2022

Furthermore, MAT-BUILDER has been designed with modularity and extensibility in mind, thus enabling practitioners to easily add new functionalities to the system and set up their own semantic enrichment process. The demonstration scenario, which will be showcased during the demo session, highlights how MAT-BUILDER's main features allow users to easily generate multiple aspect trajectories, hence benefiting the mobility data analysis community.Source: MDM 2022 - 23rd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Data Management, pp. 274–277, Paphos, Cyprus, Online, 6-9/06/2022

A general methodology for building multiple aspect trajectories
Lettich F., Pugliese C., Renso C., Pinelli F.
The massive use of personal location devices, the Internet of Mobile Things, and Location Based Social Networks, enables the collection of vast amounts of movement data. Such data can be enriched with several semantic dimensions (or aspects), i.e., contextual and heterogeneous information captured in the surrounding environment, leading to the creation of multiple aspect trajectories (MATs). In this work, we present how the MAT-Builder system can be used for the semantic enrichment processing of movement data while being agnostic to aspects and external semantic data sources. This is achieved by integrating MAT-Builder into a methodology which encompasses three design principles and a uniform representation formalism for enriched data based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF) format. An example scenario involving the generation and querying of a dataset of MATs gives a glimpse of the possibilities that our methodology can open up.Source: SAC 2023 - 38th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing, pp. 515–517, Tallinn, Estonia, 27-31/03/2023

Semantic enrichment of mobility data: a comprehensive methodology and the MAT-BUILDER system
Lettich F., Pugliese C., Renso C., Pinelli F.
The widespread adoption of personal location devices, the Internet of Mobile Things, and Location Based Social Networks, enables the collection of vast amounts of movement data. This data often needs to be enriched with a variety of semantic dimensions, or aspects, that provide contextual and heterogeneous information about the surrounding environment, resulting in the creation of multiple aspect trajectories (MATs). Common examples of aspects can be points of interest, user photos, transportation means, weather conditions, social media posts, and many more. However, the literature does not currently provide a consensus on how to semantically enrich mobility data with aspects, particularly in dynamic scenarios where semantic information is extracted from numerous and heterogeneous external data sources. In this work, we aim to address this issue by presenting a comprehensive methodology to facilitate end users in instantiating their semantic enrichment processes of movement data. The methodology is agnostic to semantic aspects and external semantic data sources. The vision behind our methodology rests on three pillars: (1) three design principles which we argue are necessary for designing systems capable of instantiating arbitrary semantic enrichment processes; (2) the MAT-Builder system, which embodies these principles; (3) the use of an RDF knowledge graph-based representation to store MATs datasets, thereby enabling uniform querying and analysis of enriched movement data. We qualitatively evaluate the methodology in two complementary example scenarios, where we show both the potential in generating interesting and useful semantically enriched mobility datasets, and the expressive power in querying the resulting RDF trajectories with SPARQL.Source: IEEE access 11 (2023): 90857–90875. doi:10.1109/ACCESS.2023.3307824

Summarizing trajectories using semantically enriched geographical context
Pugliese C., Lettich F., Pinelli F., Renso C.
The proliferation of tracking sensors in today's devices has led to the generation of high-frequency, high-volume streams of mobility data capturing the movements of various objects. These movement data can be enriched with semantic contextual information, such as activities, events, user preferences, and more, generating semantically enriched trajectories. Creating and managing these types of trajectories presents challenges due to the massive data volume and the heterogeneous, complex semantic dimensions. To address these issues, we introduce a novel approach, MAT-Sum, which uses a location-centric enrichment perspective to summarize massive volumes of mobility data while preserving essential semantic information. Our approach enriches geographical areas with semantic aspects to provide the underlying context for trajectories, enabling effective data reduction through trajectory summarization. In the experimental evaluation, we show that MAT-Sum effectively minimizes trajectory volume while retaining a good level of semantic quality, thus presenting a viable solution to the relevant issue of managing massive mobility data.Source: SIGSPATIAL 2023 - 31st ACM International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems, Hamburg, Germany, 13-16/11/2023

Cloud and data federation in MobiDataLab
Carlini E., Dazzi P., Lettich F., Perego R., Renso C.
Today's innovative digital services dealing with the mobility of per- sons and goods produce huge amount of data. To propose advanced and efficient mobility services, the collection and aggregation of new sources of data from various producers are necessary. The overall objective of the MobiDataLab H2020 project is to propose to the mobility stakeholders (transport organising authorities, operators, industry, government and innovators) reproducible methodologies and sustainable tools that foster the development of a data-sharing culture in Europe and beyond. This short paper introduces the key concepts driving the design and definition of the Cloud and Data Federation that stands at the basis of MobiDataLab.Source: FRAME'21 - 1st Workshop on Flexible Resource and Application Management on the Edge, pp. 39–40, Virtual Event, Sweden, 25/06/2021

A federated cloud solution for transnational mobility data sharing
Carlini E., Chevalier T., Dazzi P., Lettich F., Perego R., Renso C., Trani S.
Nowadays, innovative digital services are massively spreading both in the public and private sectors. In this work we focus on the digital data regarding the mobility of persons and goods, which are experiencing exponential growth thanks to the significant diffusion of telecommunication infrastructures and inexpensive GPS-equipped devices. The volume, velocity, and heterogeneity of mobility data call for advanced and efficient services to collect and integrate various data sources from different data producers. The MobiDataLab H2020 project aims to deal with these challenges by introducing an efficient and highly interoperable digital framework for mobility data sharing. In particular, the project aims to propose to the mobility stakeholders (i.e., transport organising authorities, operators, industry, governments, and innovators) reproducible methodologies and sustainable tools that can foster the development of a data-sharing culture in Europe and beyond. This paper introduces the key concepts driving the design and definition of a cloud-based data-sharing federation we call the Transport Cloud platform, which represents one of the main pillars of the MobiDataLab project. Such platform aims to ensure transnational access to mobility data in a secure, efficient, and seamless way, and to ensure that FAIR principles (i.e., mobility data should be findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) are enforced.Source: SEBD 2022 - 30th Italian Symposium on Advanced Database Systems, pp. 586–592, Tirrenia, Pisa, Italy, 19-22/06/2022
