MyTravel: A Geo-referenced Social-Oriented Web 2.0 Application

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 6782))

Abstract

The paper describes the architecture and main concepts of a geo-referenced web 2.0 application with a strong social-network component and possibly integrated with handheld devices. The application, called MyTravel, allows the users to share their travel experiences, in terms of geographic information and publishing contents like photos, notes and comments. In the paper we present the domain model of the application, associated to the functional prerequisites; then, we describe the architecture, technologies and the integration techniques adopted in the project, that have been validated through the development of the application prototype.
