The AlpineBits® DestinationData Ontology
The AlpineBits® DestinationData Ontology formalizes the worldview shared by AlpineBits members over concepts from the tourism domain. It is meant to support semantic interoperability between members through a technology-agnostic conceptual model.
The ontology consistently documents the members' agreement at the conceptual level and drives the development of the AlpineBits® DestinationData, while the API specification documents their agreement at the technological level (see chapters 3, 4 and 5).
A user of the AlpineBits® DestinationData may use this ontology as a reference to interpret the real-world semantics of the data she will consume from a SERVER, thus avoiding interoperability issues.
