NAME

6       opentrep-libraryC++ Travel Request Parsing (TREP) Library
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <opentrep/...>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       OpenTREP aims at providing a clean API, and the corresponding C++
13       implementation, for parsing travel-focused requests (e.g., 'washington
14       dc beijing monday a/r +aa -ua 1 week 2 adults 1 dog').
15
16       OpenTREP uses Xapian (http://www.xapian.org) for the Information
17       Retrieval part, on freely available travel-related data (e.g., country
18       names and codes, city names and codes, airline names and codes, etc.),
19       mainly to be found in the OpenTravelData project
20       (https://github.com/opentraveldata/opentraveldata):
21       https://github.com/opentraveldata/opentraveldata/tree/master/opentraveldata
22
23       OpenTREP exposes a simple, clean and object-oriented, API. For
24       instance, the static Parse() method takes, as input, a string
25       containing the travel request, and yields, as output, the list of the
26       recognised terms as well as their corresponding types. As an example,
27       the travel request 'washington dc beijing monday a/r +aa -ua 1 week 2
28       adults 1 dog' would give the following list: Origin airport:
29       Washington, DC, USA Destination airport: Beijing, China Date of travel:
30       next Monday Date of return: 1 week after next Monday Preferred airline:
31       American Airlines; non-preferred airline: United Airlines Number of
32       travellers: 2 adults and a dog
33
34       The output can then be used by other systems, for instance to book the
35       corresponding travel or to visualise it on a map and calendar and to
36       share it with others.
37
38       OpenTREP makes an extensive use of existing open-source libraries for
39       increased functionality, speed and accuracy. In particular the Boost
40       (C++ Standard Extensions: http://www.boost.org) library is used.
41
42       Note that OpenTREP currently only recognises points of reference (POR),
43       as to be found in the ori_por_public.csv file:
44       http://github.com/opentraveldata/optd/blob/trunk/refdata/ORI/ori_por_public.csv
45       A good complementary tool is GeoBase
46       (http://opentraveldata.github.io/geobases/), a Python-based software
47       able to access to any travel-related data source.
