Linked Open Tourism Data
(screenshots or sketches up here)
This application provides additional information to consider when looking for accommodation in a hotel.
For the user, a graphical representation of the region is provided which holds additional information. This information forms the basis for further navigation. Those additional information is gathered via smart linkage of different data sources.
Approach
To create an added value, different information from various data sources must be linked together. Many data sources implement the RDF to describe their meta data. That's why we're going to use as much RDF data sources as possible.
Some of the main difficulty in the beginning is the transformation of existing (meta) data into the RDF language.
To visualize those data, we're currently using an svg+javascript approach.
