Glossary

Crowdsourced data:

The data obtained by a crowdsourcing process, that is, by contributions (spontaneous or solicited) from a large group of people, especially an online community

Generalized Maximum Coverage Problem (GMCP):

is an extension of the classical Budgeted Maximum Coverage Problem. Given a cost budget B and a set of nondisjoint sets of items in E, where each item e i ∈ E is associated with a cost c i and a weight w i , the GMCP asks for selecting a subset of these sets such that the total weight of the items in the union of the chosen sets is maximized and the total cost of these items is lower than B.

Itinerary (or sightseeing tour or simply tour):

is a detailed plan for a tourist journey, listing the PoIs to visit in a temporal sequence, possibly scheduled in the tourist agenda

Orienteering Problem (OP):

given a set of vertices V, where s i is the score assigned to each vertex v i ∈ V, and t...
