Personal profile
Short biography
Shahrom Sohi is a researcher at the Institute of Data, Process and Knowledge Management at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business. His work focuses on leveraging data to develop digital products and services for the mobility industry. With an international background in transport engineering, Shahrom has developed expertise in this field, where he aims to make railway mobility more accessible and interoperable through his research.
In his first year of research, Shahrom has concentrated on applying semantics technologies to enhance mobility and railway operations. For instance, he has been analyzing the Open Data and Transport Domain , examining how data is shared within complex frameworks such as this one.
The significance of Shahrom's research lies in its applications for the Austrian National Railway and mobility provider ÖBB. His contributions have the potential to elevate standards and current best practices in semantics for transport. By doing so, he can make a meaningful impact on the mobility industry and its users by enabling more seamless and efficient transportation experiences.
His research has important applications for the Austrian National Railway and mobility Provider ÖBB, as his contributions will help to improve the standards and current state of art in semantics for transport.
Shahrom Sohi's work has the potential to make a significant impact on the mobility industry and its users by providing contribuitions that enable future more seamless and efficient transportation experience.
