Ontology: Include transport processes /subclasses into the ontology

[Vera-IER]

Description of the issue

In #475 it was requested to add the term "international transport". I think there are more transport related classes missing.

Ideas of solution

I would start with the basic transport classes:

• international transport
• individual transport
• freight transport

Do you have an idea where to add them?

Workflow checklist

• [ ] I discussed the issue with someone else than me before working on a solution
• [x] I already read the latest version of the workflow for this repository
• [x] The goal of this ontology is clear to me

I am aware that

• [x] every entry in the ontology should have a definition
• [x] classes should arise from concepts rather than from words

[sfluegel05]

I would group these terms under a class transport which itself could be a subclass of process.
For definitions I suggest:
transport: _Transport is the process of moving people or goods from one place to another._ (according to https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/transport )
international transport: _International transport is a transport process between different countries or within the same country through another country._ (adapted from http://erealtyco.net/international-transportation-methods/ )
freight transport: _Freight transport is a transport process which moves goods from one place to another._

I didn't find a good definition for individual transport. Is there any difference between individual and private (as opposed to public) transport?

[Vera-IER]

These definitions sound good to me. You are right, individual transport is the same as private transport. I guess in English it's more common to use the term private transport. And we should also include the subclass public transport.
I found these definitions: source

Private transport: Private transport is a transport process in which people use their own vehicle for movement e.g. cycle, motor cycle and cars, or walk by foot.
Public transport: Public transport is a transport process in which a number of passengers shares a common transport facility.

Sounds all good to me, too.
What about: public transport: _Public transport is a transport process in which a number of passengers share a common public transport facility._ ? I mean, it is not a public transport when I share my private car with my kids / friends / hitchhikers.

[sfluegel05]

That is a good addition.
Is this ready for implementation then?

[Vera-IER]

Yes, I think so.
