Development of Customized Trip Navigation System Using Open Government Data

Abstract

Under the flag of creative economy, Korea government is now releasing public data in order to develop or provide a range of services. In this paper, we develop a customized trip navigation system to recommend a trip itinerary based on integration of open government data and personal tourist data. The system uses case-based reasoning (CBR) to provide a personalized trip navigation service. The main difference between existing trip information systems and ours is that our system can offers a user-oriented information service. In addition, our system supports Turn-key style contents provision to maximize convenience. Our system can be a good example of the way in which open government data can be used to design a new service.

Tourism, an Underestimated Driving Force for the Creative Economy

“…The "Blinking Seoul" project combines a range of smart applications to allow foreign visitors to navigate around the city in their own language and gather detailed background information on neighbourhoods and attractions in the city. This is one example of how cities are using the big data that they possess to give richer information about culture and creativity to visitors (Shim, Lee, & Yoo, 2016).…”
