It can
be said metaphorically, that in the Semantic Web everything is a resource that is
located somewhere within the Web and can be found through a generalized resource
locator. In this case indexing simply links together resources of interest. Unfortunately,
the current state of the Semantic Web is such that there are practically no
resources that systems like ours could use. To be able to develop and implement a
working system ???now??? we have decided to gather information. More precisely, in
the central repository we will store sets of RDF triples (tokens) that will represent
travel objects (instances of ontologies). We will also develop an agent-based data
collection system that will transform Web-available information into such tokens
stored in the system.
Obviously, our work is not the only one in the field of applying agents and ontologies
to travel support, however, while we follow many predecessors, we have noticed
that most of them have ended on a road leading nowhere. In our survey conducted
in 2001 we have found a number of Web sites of agent-based travel support system
projects that never made it beyond the initial stages of conceptualization (for more
details see Paprzycki, Angryk, et al.
