Master/Diploma thesis: Affordance-based description of Points of Interest in OSM
Current POI tags in Open Street Map are based on place categories like “cafe” and “bar”. Such categories do not imply offered functionalities, e.g. “drinking beer”, which account for the “interest” of POIs. For example, “Kaffeehäuser” in Vienna frequently offer beer and therefore functionally overlap with bars, whereas cafes in the US do not sell any alcohol. The thesis should address this problem by developing a method for describing POI based on afforded actions instead of general categories.
Contents:
- Develop a model of different types of actions relevant for a selected domain of POIs, e.g. POIs related to eating and drinking.
- Propose and implement a technical solution (e.g. using RDF) that can be used to annotate and query POIs according to their affordances.
