Abstract

With the tremendous growth of the Web, accessing information on the Internet has become less a question of determining whether the information is out there, but rather, in what form, and how to find it [1]. The XML-KM approach gives a new presentation approach based on tourist maps, which offer powerful geographic search facilities and the possibility to apply them for mobile terminals. In the course of the IST project XML-KM, the official Austrian tourism information and booking system TIScover is extended in order to integrate tourism data with geographic data to build dynamic tourist maps and enable geographic search. The integration is based on SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) the upcoming standard to describe two dimensional vector graphics in XML.
