This book
is intended to bring a business perspective to this promising new technology??”the
Semantic Web.
Chapter.Overview
Chapter I introduces an innovative semantic technology allowing for the automated
online configuration and assembling of packaged travel products for individual
customers. Dynamic packaging applications require a suitable integration of heterogeneous,
autonomous, and distributed tourism information systems. This integration
is a complex and difficult issue. The Semantic Web, a relatively new concept, brings
a set of emerging technologies and models that need to be explored and evaluated
to assert their use for the implementation of more integrated dynamic packaging
applications. In this chapter, the author analyzes dynamic packaging application
requirements and presents an architecture that enables the integration of tourism
data sources and creation of dynamic packages using semantic annotation, semantic
rules, ontologies, Web services, and Web processes.
x
Chapter II proposes a semantically enriched service-oriented business applications
(SE-SOBA) framework that will provide a dynamically reconfigurable architecture
enabling enterprises to respond quickly and flexibly to market changes.
