Abstract

A location-based service oriented application is presented in this paper, able to extract DBpedia data relevant to user´s preferences and geographic position. Google Latitude technology is used to locate the user, while SPARQL API is exploited to query the DBpedia dataset according to user´s interests. The resulting RDF graphs are serialized to JSON format and visualized within Google Maps.
