Abstract
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology plays an increasingly important role in Location-Based Services (LBS), which include applications such as car navigation, tour guide information, route-guide information, and tracking systems. Most GIS applications focus on showing the stored information on a map, not providing user-oriented map services to register user’s preferred information. We propose an ontology-based approach to register and to search personal information on maps. We also implement a GIS search prototype considering user preferences using favorite food information and having a connection function to Web sites on the map using our digital map format. Our contribution is to provide a personalized service by connecting LBS/GIS services and ontology technology.
