Founded in Innsbruck in 2018 with the aim of discussing the possibilities and necessities for a common tourism knowledge graph in the DACH region, the former DACH-KG, now in the form of an institutionalized organizational structure, the Open Data Tourism Alliance (ODTA), develops the necessary conditions for the digital development of tourism across borders.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> The GNTB has initiated the Open Data Tourism Alliance (ODTA) to promote standardization and thus digitalization in European tourism across borders.

\nThe ODTA deals with the standardization of tourism content based on the schema.org standard and adapts it to the specific needs of tourism.
\nIn addition, the ODTA is involved in a transnational exchange to share experiences in dealing with structured data and semantic technologies, e.g. in the context of voice search.
\nThe aim is not only to respond reactively to technological developments by providing the broadest possible support, but also to play an active role in shaping them for tourism.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Key tasks of the ODTA<\/h3><\/h1><\/span>
\nFor this purpose, special design patterns (Domain Specifications, DS for short) are created on the basis of schema.org, expanded as required and published.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>Germany<\/h3><\/h1><\/span>
\nThe aim is to make efficient use of the possibilities offered by digital technologies – such as artificial intelligence – in tourism marketing.
\nTo this end, tourism data from different systems will be merged and made findable and readable in a standardized structure.
\nTo implement the project, the state tourism organizations (LTO) and the German National Tourist Board have joined forces in the Open Data \/ Knowledge Graph project for Germany as a tourism location.
\nFurther information on the project can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Members from Germany<\/h3><\/h1><\/span>

\nThe aim is also to enable the linking of relevant data along the entire value chain.
\nBased on standardized data, this will support sovereign and trustworthy data sharing between the various stakeholders and promote a flourishing data economy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Members from Austria<\/h3><\/h1><\/span>
