A journey to Linked Open Touristic Data
The document discusses the development of a sustainable ecosystem for touristic data that emphasizes open data models, decentralized data curation, and an interactive sharing platform. It outlines the challenges faced in aggregating, authenticating, and managing touristic data across various sectors and geographical regions while advocating for a paradigm shift towards dynamic, reusable linked data. The proposed solution includes user-friendly tools, APIs, and an open-source platform to enhance accessibility and collaboration within the tourism industry.
