Abstract :
This paper presents a travel planning system, which is based on our Web resource aggregation platform and is designed for budget travelers to arrange their journey and budget. Ontologies for the tourism domain are built up with a new OWL-based visual ontology designer called VO-Editor. And a graph-based "selective" inference method is adopted to reason about related ontology knowledge, which is believed to be efficient in many situations
