Providing personalized cultural heritage information for the smart region - A proposed methodology

In this paper we present a methodology to provide visitors, in smart regions, additional cultural heritage attractions based on prior museum visits using user models and Linked Open Data. Visitor preferences and behavior are tracked via a museum mobile guide and used to create a visitor model. Semantic models and Linked Open Data support the representation of regional assets as Cultural Objects. The visitor model preferences are exploited using a graph similarity approach in order to identify personalized opportunities for visitors by filtering relevant Cultural Objects.
