Data Access to Heterogenous Tourism Information Systems

  • Conference paper
Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism 1998

Abstract

Today, a high amount of different tourism information systems are existing. For the potential tourist it would be very useful to be able to search information about his holidays in all of these separate systems, without learning the different user interfaces and functional structure. In this contribution a concept and a new query language will be introduced, which show our approach to simplify data access to heterogenous tourism information systems. There are many challenges to solve like different database systems in the background of the tourism information systems, the presentation of information in various datamodels, different languages and so on.
