Location-Sensitive Tour Guide Services Using the Semantic Web

The tour guide services are a LBS application that provides the information based on the location of users. The recent researches of the tour guide services focus on the context-sensitive computing, but the tour guide services based on HTML contents can provide only the static information. Therefore, the goals of our research are to semantically search the information. For the purpose, we describe the ontologies of the tour guide services, and express the tour information as the RDF contents based on the ontologies. In this paper, we present the architecture of the tour information Services based on the Semantic Web technologies and describe the process of the implementation.
