These trajectories do not only connect locations in the physical world but also bridge the gap between people and locations. This paper introduces a social networking service, called GeoLife, which aims to understand trajectories, locations and users, and mine the correlation between users and locations in terms of user-generated GPS trajectories. GeoLife offers three key applications scenarios: 1) sharing life experiences based on GPS trajectories; 2) generic travel recommendations, e.g., the top interesting locations, travel sequences among locations and travel experts in a given region; and 3) personalized friend and location recommendation.}, publisher = {IEEE}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/geolife-a-collaborative-social-networking-service-among-user-location-and-trajectory/}, journal = {IEEE Data(base) Engineering Bulletin}, edition = {IEEE Data(base) Engineering Bulletin}, }
