OpenPOI – Developing a Web-based Portal with High School Students to Collaboratively Collect and Share Points-of-Interest Data

Web-based and mobile location-based applications are becoming increasingly popular to a broad range of users. In particular young people like to explore the latest technological innovations in the context of mobile devices, and are interested in hardware or software. Points of Interest (POI) are an essential data source for location-based applications. Having emerged from classic in-car navigation systems, POI are often linked to a postal address and relate to businesses or common sense information. A collection of POI that reflects the needs and interests of young people is currently not available. In this paper we present a project for developing a web-based portal for POI in cooperation with high school teachers and students. This paper introduces the methods of collaboration and the expected results from the scientific and educational point of view.
