Description :

Integration of the java swoop ontology editor into JOSM. A JOSM ontology
plugin.

Work :

1. create a live mapping from OSM into RDF , so that the swoop can access
the data in OSM without conversion.
2. be able to have the changes in the rdf be reflected back into the OSM.
4. conversion of the wiki into OWL, so that the rules and relations of the
OSM are documented formally.
5. running of the pellet inference engine and all the other reasoning tools
from swoop to infer new facts and validate the data.
6. encoding of the rules of the JOSM validator into OWL rules, maybe we will
have to include new derived geometric things like if two ways intersect and
also ways to only process data in a certain radius.
