Awesome NAPCORE Tools: A Community Registry for European Mobility Data Tools
K.3.601 | Day 1 | 15:25 - 15:30 | Speakers: Brede Dammen, Jan Vlčinský
Abstract
European transport systems are adopting standards such as DATEX II, NeTEx and SIRI, but developers struggle to discover existing tools, validators, converters, and libraries. We're launching Awesome NAPCORE Tools (awesome.napcore.eu) - a community-curated registry of open source tools for European mobility data. This talk introduces the platform and invites the open source community to contribute. We'll cover:
- The European mobility data landscape and key standards
- Current challenges in tool discovery
- How the registry works and the contribution process
- Inclusion criteria and governance approach
- Vision for community ownership
Whether you maintain a DATEX II validator, a NeTEx library, or build transport applications, we want to showcase your work and connect you with users and fellow developers.
