چکیده
This chapter provides an overview of tourism ontology and how it can be used for developing etourism applications. The Semantic Web is the next generation Web; it uses background knowledge captured as an ontology and stored in machineprocessable and interpretable form. Ontologies form the core of the Semantic Web and can be used to develop intelligent applications. However, generating applications based on ontology still remains a challenging task. This chapter presents a framework that provides a systematic process for developing intelligent e-tourism applications by using a tourism ontology.

متن کاملBuilding an Ontology-Based Framework for Tourism Recommendation Services
The tourism product has an intangible nature in that customers cannot physically evaluate the services on offer until practically experienced. This makes having access to credible and authentic information about tourism products before the actual experience very valuable. An Ontology being a formal, explicit specification of concepts of a domain provides a viable platform for the development of...
