• OTC is a consortium of companies, government agencies, individuals, and universities participating in the open development of publicly available standards to support tourism.
• The goals are to develop
• a standard data model
• TourML—an XML based data exchange language for objects and events of interest to tourists
• TourML parser—an open source program to parse TourML files and insert the data into a relational database based on the standard data model
• The standards will support location-based services for the three phases of tourism:
• pre-tour (planning)
• touring
• post-tour (reminiscing)
