Abstract
The use of Semantic Web technologies in e-business is hampered by the lack of
large, publicly-available sources of semantically-demarcated data. In this chapter,
we present a number of intermediate steps on the road toward the Semantic Web.
Specifically, we discuss how Semantic Web technologies can be adapted as the
centerpiece of an agent-based travel support system. First, we present a complete
description of the system under development. Second, we introduce ontologies developed
for, and utilized in, our system. Finally, we discuss and illustrate through
examples how ontologically demarcated data collected in our system is personalized
for individual users. In particular, we show how the proposed ontologies can
be used to create, manage, and deploy functional user profiles.
