Abstract:
The smart spaces approach enables development of advanced digital services referred now as ``smart services''. In this paper, we discuss the development problem of smart services for the domain of historical e-Tourism. We show the applicability of recommender systems for constructing and personalizing services within a smart space. The latter is created to accompany a tourist or a group of them. A corpus of historical data distributed among multiple sources in the Internet is collected in a tourist's smart space, forming a kind of custom and dynamical historical knowledge. In particular, context-aware semantic relations between historical objects are dynamically established and manipulated in the smart space. This semantics-rich information is an input for recommendation-making. Personalized recommendations with quantitative and qualitative estimates can be constructed. The result then is visualized to assist a historian tourist in historical analysis of points of interests. The contribution consists of the concept definition and system design for creating a smart space with assistance services of personalized recommendations.
