   abstract = {The way tourists organize their travels is evolving day after
day. While in the past, information was more obtained by
the support of tour operators, nowadays this is mainly obtained
through the Internet. Among many options, on the
Internet it is possible to get information about interesting
things a place has and to make reservations. This new
touristic paradigm brings attractive opportunities such as
saving money and discovering unexploited information proposed
by tourists that already have visited targeted places.
But, it comes with a major shortcoming. Information on the
Internet can be overwhelming and it can lead to a lot of
time spent on planning a travel. Moreover, the Internet contains
outdated and incorrect information which can cause
incorrect travel planning. These issues can become even
more preponderant when dealing with niche domains, such
as cultural heritage, where the information is not pervasive.
This paper presents the Cityzen platform for planning
cultural heritage focused travels. This platform aims to
provide a semantic web oriented data model that acts as
central repository and which can be used by tourists for
accurately and efficiently planning their sightseeing. This
platform deals with cases of incorrect and incomplete information
by using the social web as possibility of actively
engage users in the information management while they
explore the provided information.}
