Abstract
A broad spectrum of tourism information is already distributed over
various web sites. However, a major problem for the tourist is to find these web
sites and to deal with the differences concerning information presentation and
information access. At the same time, it is not feasible to store every kind of
information a tourist might be interested in at one web site neither in terms of
storage costs nor and even more important in terms of maintenance overhead.
Therefore, in the course of the ESPRIT project MIRO-Web the official Austrian
tourism information and booking system TIScover is extended in order to
federate multiple structured and semi-structured tourism information sources on
the web. In particular, MIRO-Web supports a homogeneous view on these
heterogeneous sources which can be either materialized or defined as virtual.
On the basis of this view, appropriate query mechanisms as well as a web-based
interface provide the user with a single point of access.
