Mapping assisted by the semantic web and social media integration

This project makes use of several knowledge base sources and the structured data advantages of the Semantic Web to assist users in the creation of rich and dynamic maps for business or leisure activities. Our smart search will be capable of recognizing entities that, combined with Text/Sentiment Analysis tools, will speed up and simplify how we populate our maps. Each entity type has its own action, and allows complex queries such as upcoming events with your favorite band or the best restaurants/hotels in your vicinity. For each entity I added social media integration, allowing users to define their own user experience by selecting specific properties they want to display on their maps (ratings, comments, pictures and other specific business information). The project has built-in capabilities to share and embed user maps in any website. PHP, AngularJS and services such as AlchemyAPI, Factual and DBpedia are at the core of all functionalities. This project aims to change the way we map the world by providing a meaningful context, which is augmented with the semantic web and sentiment analysis.
