RouteYou and iKnow provide routing and point of interest (POI) linking solutions. RouteYou classifies geospatial data and adds community information to provide multiple routing options based on factors like transportation method and style of travel. iKnow extracts concepts and relationships from text using ontology engines to classify POIs and link them with topics, times, and related people/entities. Together their solutions allow routing between locations of interest while providing relevant information about points of interest along the way.

26. How we do that: data 17 Extending the roadnetworkwith extra attributes, information & geometry
27. RoutePlanner – Routeing Engine RouteYou provides a routing engine withseveralflavourshow to plan your route over Tele Atlas data and extra networks
28. The solution RouteYou classifies the Tele Atlas data basedon 38 variables and addscommunity info to provide several routing optionssuch as the fastestornicest route as a cyslistor as a pedestrianor as a motorbikeror as anin-line skater The demo willdemonstrate these severaloptions and explainone of the difficultiesrelated to hierarchical routing. RouteYou provides an API whereyoucanrequest these paths
29. Geospatial & LBS Innovation Community – Sophia Antipolis, July 2, 2009 20 Context (forthosewholove to read) Providinginterestinginformation and selecting a goodpathwhilepeople are goingfrom A to B orgoingaround in a regio dependsonquite a few things. What kind of interest s does the user have Does he/shewalksor is teh user bybike Is the user in a hurry, goingfor a stroll, a touristicvisitor is hedoingsports? Is she/hedoingthis trip in spring, mondaymorningoron the 21st of July? The problems we try to solve are the following: How do we provide you a track fitting your mode of movement (walker, cyclist,,…) and your ‘style’ (in a hurry, relaxingstroll,…). If we know the users interest, we have to match that interest with the locations and the linkedinformation at hand. Howcan we classify these locations and match themwith the interest of the user (e.g. whichlocations to visitifI’minterested in architecture, orGalileoGalilei, or crime) Howcan we time-tag the locations to beable to show you the interestinginformation at the time of youractivity Howcan we pick/classify the most interestinglocations If we have a large set of text/informationfromseveralsources , howcan we avoidprovidingduplicateinformation to the end-user? E.g. We gettouristicinformationfrom the city, the touristicregion, a private publisher, the prosumers of the community. Someinformation is complementary of these sources, otherinformation is redudant/duplicate
30. The Solution RouteYou alsocreate a community to getcommunity input on routes and POIs. RouteYou provides alsowidgetsforRoutePlannerssootherscancreatetheirowncommunitiesbasedontheir type of activity (e.g. TourismEast-Flanders, Walking site of Twente, Cycling site of Rivierenland, Bicycle Magazine sites,...)
31. RouteViewer RouteYou provides a way to view, ‘inspect’, share and download the results. The RouteViewerwidgetallowswebbuilder to integrate the routes in their website and provide the information to theirusers/community without development and problems of running and hosting the data and the application
32. iKnowontologybuilder The pompous building near the river is a branch of the National Bank of Belgium. It was here that some bizaracitivity took place leading to the main suspect of the theft of the panel of the “Lam Gods”. ArsèneGoedertier, the main suspect, opened here an account a few weeks before the theft. Only a few transactions were made on this account. The first transaction took place before the purchasing of a typewriter in a shop in the “Vlaanderenstraat”, for almost the same amount as the price of the typewriter.A second transaction took place, just before the ransom would be paid and the exchange of the painting would take place in Antwerp. This never happened and till today, the painting is never found back.
