Ontology-Based Travel Recommender System
Recommender systems are designed to suggest information to users according to their preferences. The items could be movies, books, or various kinds of products. Most of the existing recommender systems are based on a database with limited advantages. However, in this chapter, the authors propose a knowledge-driven travel recommender system to integrate semantic data built using web ontology language (OWL) ontology to allow users to find suitable destinations that fulfil users' travel preferences. This work aims to develop a travel recommendation tool and to examine the reliability, the usability of the system, and satisfaction rate of users. They are also able to demonstrate that users can obtain desired results through queries on the ontology-based system. The overall evaluation of the system shows that users are happy and satisfied with the recommendation results.
