???. Data.model.mapping. In our architecture, data on data sources is mapped to
the concepts of a common ontology to facilitate the integration of information.
???. Data.consolidation. The various segments of the common ontology constructed
from individual data sources are consolidated using procedures described using
an abstract business process model.
???. Shared.global.data.model. With the data consolidated in the previous level,
we populated the shared global data model, represented with an e-tourism
ontology, by creating instances.
???. Dynamic.packaging.engine. Based on the information present in the e-tourism
ontology, we extract knowledge to build dynamic packages.
Tourism.Information.System.Integration
Tourism information systems provide travel agencies and customers with crucial
information such as flight details, accommodations, prices, and the availability of
services. Dedicated and specialized information systems are providing real time
tourism data to travel agents, customers, and other organizations.
A few years ago, e-tourism applications were mainly focused on handling transactions
and managing catalogs.
