INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Described as one of the most complex projects in the engineering and architectural field, railway\/train stations serve the main function of being a gateway. They are the connection between the train and the rest of the world\u00a0and\u00a0establish\u00a0a network from airports to city centers, rural areas, neighborhoods, etc. They act as hubs where the user gets access to the rail network by either departing or arriving to and from urban areas while providing entertainment options to its users in the form of marketplaces.<\/p>\n

INITIAL ONTOLOGY – SCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The purpose of the developed ontology is to help the collaboration of architects and engineers in the design process of train stations.\u00a0For this, the ontology takes not only key components of the architecture field like circulation, spaces and functions\u00a0but also considers\u00a0concepts present in the engineering field like structural materials and load-bearing elements.\u00a0The ontology proposes a way of understanding
\nwhich concepts and structures are needed and commonly used when designing a train station.<\/p>\n

CONFIGURATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Old and new stations share a common configuration which has become a standard for the design and development of these types of structures. These can be broken down into\u00a0six main components:<\/p>\n
