Abstract
This paper describes a system that discovers and semantically unifies information from multiple sources, allowing the end user to organize and implement integrated tourist itineraries and tours by utilizing innovative spatio-temporal interconnection technologies of multiple spaces and events of environmental, cultural, and tourist interest. Moreover a user evaluation from the pilot tests is included in the study.
