Abstract

The development of open data by local governments and data platforms for each field is progressing. These are broad ranged data on each area, such as traffic, disaster prevention, restaurants and services, and are expected to be useful information sources for citizens and tourists. On the other hand, these data are usually deployed in a network reachable place, but when they have to be handled individually according to its own format, and in some cases, conversion both in format and in semantics are required, which is a barrier to use.

By the way, in existing information services for tourists, especially smartphones application services for tourists, the content provided are selective and limited in some specific fields and target areas covered. That is, there is a problem on coverage in content. In addition, there are many cases where has a problem with the cost of maintaining and updating content, and the content may often be obsolete.

Given the existence of data platforms developed for each field, the paper presents the data linkage challenges that enable them to be integrated and used. And also the paper shows a one-stop smart city application that has been developed using that function. This application provides information for tourists during normal times, and it can handle the situation in town, such as congestion, in real time in order to grasp the flow and local stagnation that occur in bursts at the time of events or accidents.
