Main problem: Interrelationship of spatial information and semantic information. The authors propose a framework that combines and associates image contents with semantic and spatial information. Usage of this work is to support a user before, during, and after a trip.
Semantic maps are digital maps used to visualize both geographic and semantic information on (sight seeing) objects. Semantics is captured in ontologies.
