Original Kurzfassung:
Context-aware mobile systems aim at delivering information and services tailored to
the current user's situation [1], [11]. One major application area of these systems is
the tourism domain, not least since tourists can be assisted not only in the preparatory
phase of a vacation but especially during the vacation itself through location-based
services (LBS) [5], [8]. Consequently a proliferation of approaches [2], [3], [6], [9],
[10], [14], [17], [19], [20] can be observed, whereby an in-depth study of related work
has shown that some of these existing mobile tourism information systems exhibit
few limitations [4], [21]: First, existing approaches often use proprietary interfaces to
other systems (e.g. a Geographic Information Systems - GIS), and employ their own
data repositories, thus falling short in portability and having to deal with time
consuming content maintenance. Second, often thick clients are used, admittedly
offering advantages like rich user functionality, but lacking out-of-the-box-usage.
Third, existing solutions are sometimes inflexible concerning configuration
capabilities of the system. To deal with those deficiencies, we present a domain
independent, lightweight framework for location-based services. This framework
builds on existing GIS standards, incorporates already available Web content, can be
employed out-of-the-box, and is configurable by using a Web-based interface.
