It describes an eTourism application: users can personalize their city tour using a specialized service (called “CRUZAR”) that integrates relevant databases (with RDF and specialized Ontologies), and that translates the users’ wishes and profiles in a set of rules on those data. A matching algorithm is then run to produce a personalized itinerary.
