Abstract

The illegal parking of bicycles is an urban problem in Japan and other countries. Illegally parked bicycles (IPBs) obstruct vehicles and pedestrian traffic, cause road accidents, encourage thefts, and disfigure streets. To solve the challenge posed by IPBs, we believed that it is necessary to collect and republish the data as reusable format. Therefore, we collected the number of IPBs, location information, time, and factors. Then, we integrated and republished these data as Linked Open Data (LOD) on the Web. In this paper, we described a schema design of illegally parked bicycle LOD (IPBLOD) and a methodology of designing LOD schema. Then, we collected data from SNS and website of municipality, and built the LOD of 98,982 triples. Furthermore, we presented several statistics based on IPBLOD.
