Abstract

Tourism has always been an information intense industry. Especially information on how to reach the destination of choice and how to move around after arrival has been the focus of often tedious searches. When travelling within the country of residence or to a neighbouring country, the personal car seems to provide the most flexible choice as a means of transport for many tourists. Unfortunately, the rising amount of private transport by car has caused many problems. Certain initiatives to make the use of public transport more tempting for tourists have failed, partly due to complicated tariffs and schedules. In order to ease the creation of individualised travelling schedules using public transportation, the authors propose a combination of existing microformats which can be used to semantically enrich existing schedules. This enables the customer to create ad-hoc travel itineraries without the necessity of any formal cooperation between the involved transportation enterprises.
