Abstract

Background Lao Tzu, the ancient Chinese philosopher, had famously said, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. The modern ecosystem of tourism is extremely multi-faceted and multi-context dependent, so much so that tourists, planning on an excursion, have an entire range of queries from as basic as “Where to eat?” to as complex as “List all the eating establishments which are suitable for groups and also provide children menu”. Such a list becomes even more complicated due to the intermixing of different perceptions, languages, cultures and economies in which tourists are enmeshed in. Accordingly, such increasing complexity in questions from tourists necessitate the need to provide specialized and fine-grained data and information services which are beyond the Information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructures in vogue in tourism today. Methods In this paper, we propose and advocate the use of, via a theoretically and implementationally well-founded methodology, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) backed technology of ontology-driven Knowledge Graphs, to provide fine-grained information services to tourists at any scale and at any level of complexity. Results and Conclusions The methodology is validated by developing a fully populated tourism-specific ontology-driven knowledge graph having 4264 RDF statements and ready for reuse, extension and exploitation as a part of any of the current ICT infrastructure in tourism sector.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
