Abstract

E-Tourism applications require reliable means for sharing and reusing information and the possibility to add intelligence and inferred knowledge. In this paper, we focus on developing an ontology or common vocabulary for the tourism domain and, in particular, to represent resources from Croatia. We evaluate some of the most popular ontology development methodologies for this case. As a result of this assessment we present a proposal for a methodology that combines activities from both traditional and simplified methods.
