Semantically Enriched Multi-Modal Routing

We present an innovative extension to routing: intention-oriented routing which is a direct result of combining classical routing-services with Semantic Web technologies. Thereby, the intention of a user can be easily incorporated into route planning. We highlight two use cases where this hybridization is of great significance: neighborhood routing where a neighborhood can be explored (e.g. searching for events around your place) and via routing where errands can be done along a route (e.g. buying ingredients for your dinner on your way home). We outline the combination of different methods for achieving these goals. The emerging framework is demonstrated by two case studies. Finally, we give a short outlook on future work within this novel research field.
