LINKED DATA AND PUBLIC DATA TO IMPROVE TOURIST INFORMATION SERVICES

Peru is working to improve its public tourist data by developing open data strategies and applications. However, its tourist information is currently unstructured and not linked to other data sources. This study aims to enhance tourist services by analyzing public data, modeling it in a linked data format, and publishing it online in order to improve access and reuse of the information. The researchers identified and analyzed tourist data, modeled it using vocabularies and ontologies, generated RDF files, and launched a SPARQL server to allow queries and exploitation of the linked open data.
![Peru is one of the developing countries of Latin America, which has not improved the availability or quality of public tourist
data(e.g. hotels, tourist places, restaurants, shops). These types of data are generated and saved by public sector agencies like
Ministries, Municipalities.
Currently, the Peru Government enhances the publication of open data and has a National Open Government Data Strategy for
2021, that is allowing to develop geolocation applications that allow locate museums of Lima, identify the most problematic
districts and making data-based decisions[1]. However, Peru has only information about tourist places on its website although in
an unstructured format which implies the information does not have a pre-defined data model and is not linked to other data.
Besides, it does not include on its open data repository. The main aim of this study is to enhance the tourist information service
by means of: i) the analysis of public data; ii) modeling a linked data format; and iii) publishing of tourist data.

RDF dataset we relied on Apache Jena Fuseki Server
Linked Open Data Portal - http://linkeddata.mincetur.gob.pe/resource/
Interfaz SPARQL - http://{URI}/recurso/sparql
Exploitation
Linked Open Data Cloud
anyone can retrieve data
Users, browsers, crawlers
1118 of tourist places published
8 Vocabularies and Ontologies used
+52 740 triplets generated
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
To achieve this goal, we analyzed the properties of public tourist data, model a format using standard vocabularies and ontologies to link the information with external
data. We generated rdf files using a linked data publishing methodology[2]. Finally, we launch a fuseki server that allows sparql queries and data exploitation.
CONCLUSIONS
Nowadays there are lot of technologies can help the process of publishing tourist
information, allow us apply these to improve information services
Improve the access for private and public organizations, which use tourist
information to help industrial competitiveness through enrichment, query,
retrieval, sharing, reusing, distribution and exploitation of public data.
In the future, it is necessary to expand types and the scope of data as well as
enhancing the linkage with the data held by Peru, so that other data than tourist
information can also be liked for utilization.
