  3. §1 1. The European Commission endorses the finalisation of the ”Generalised Transportation-data Format” (GTF v1.0).

  4. §2 (part 1) 2. Subsequently, the European Commission will recognise the necessity to undertake calls for projects to finalise the spotlights GTF Specification(v1.0).

  5. §2 (part 2) Therefore funding will be needed to finalise GTF into an operational format, i.e. for the development of an open source, at least freely available, GTF Reader / Writer library of common functions and API(Application Programme Interface), which can be used by any person,organisation or company to build a complete GTF Translator to the own proprietary software data structures.

  6. §2 (part 3) The European Commission endorses to examine and evaluate the feasibility of moving towards making the GTF Specification an operational library of functions along the lines just stated. In total this action also incorporates to provide training,workshops for the implementing institutions / companies as well as on location training support (scientific and technical coaching).

  7. §3 3. The European Commission will submit the “Generalised Transportation-data Format” (GTF v1.0) to a world wide standards board, e.g. the European Committee for Standardisation CEN (http://www.cenorm.be/), the International Organisation for Standardisation ISO (http://www.iso.ch)or any other board deemed appropriate by the European Commission.

  8. §4 4. The European Commission further will recommend to its institutions and the member states to support the finalisation of the GTF specification and to take steps to provide data in the GTF format.

  9. §5 5. The European Commission will provide its own data and data from any projects and studies in the GTF format.

  10. §6 6. To streamline, organise and optimise the introduction of the „Generalised Transportation-data Format“ it is recommended that the European Commission establishes an advisory board consisting of scientific, institutional and industrial members. Subsequently this board will work out guidelines for the procedure to establish GTF and will deal with and resolve all administrative and legal matters as well as all questions concerning data provision, transmission rules, etc.

  11. §7 7. Furthermore the European Commission is recommended to foster the dissemination of knowledge on GTF at transport and software development conferences as well as to publish papers on GTF in detail and generally about the GTF vision in appropriate and / or relevant scientific and software development journals.

  12. §8 8. To install an open discussion base about all issues of GTF (forum or mailinglist). After these recommendations are implemented, the undersigning institutions and companies are positive to undertake serious and strong efforts to implement the GTF specification and to add import-export filters to their proprietary software or software packages.

  13. Epilog After these recommendations are achieved, the undersigning institutions and companies are positive to undertake serious and strong efforts to implement the GTF specification and to add import-export filters to their proprietary software / software packages.
