Zusammenfassung:Approaches presented herein enable development of interwoven group trip itineraries based on social media footprints. More specifically, for each member of the group, a travel interests footprint is generated based on his/her social media history. These footprints are mapped together in a semantic web that includes identifiers associated with the interests of the footprints. Activities corresponding to a time and location are obtained and matched based on correlations to the interest-associated identifiers. Based on an association of a group member' footprint to a semantic web identifier, and from there to an activity, itineraries are built for the members and activities are added to particular members' itineraries in which those members are likely to have an interest. Based on user-defined criteria, activities in the itineraries can be shared by the group as a whole or subgroups may be formed when the itineraries of some group members are assigned different activities.
