Background to ResearchThis research programme monitors service, quality and compliance with contractual Dublin Bus requirements through“mystery shopping‟ surveys, to measure key aspects of service delivery. This mystery shopping programme wasdesigned to provide robust and actionable data to the National Transport Authority to measure the overall serviceperformance of Dublin Bus through the eyes of its ‘customers’.211 mystery shops were conducted during Quarter 4 2017 with mystery shoppers acting as passengers while waitingfor and on board selected Dublin Bus routes around the city. A broad spread of bus routes were covered acrossdifferent days of the week and times of the day.The mystery shops were carried out by trained Kantar Millward Brown interviewers, following an initial pilot and briefingsession. These interviewers use portable HAPI (HandHeld Personal Interviewing) devices which enable both discreetand effective captures of location, bus and driver details at stops, when boarding, on board and after alighting buses.Wave 9: Quarter 4 2017: 11th September – 23 Dec 2017We have used the following symbols to indicate significant differences versus: recent changes since previous quarter i.e.Qtr 3 June – Sept 2017 Q3 or year on year changes for same quarter last year i.e. Qtr 4 Nov – Dec 2016 Q43

1 Introduction Formal ontologies provide a conceptual model of a domain of interest by describing the vocabulary of that domain in terms of a logical language, such as a description logic (DL). To cater for different applications and uses of ontologies, DLs and other ontology languages vary significantly regard-ing expressive power and computational complexity (Baader et al. 2003). For .
