Abstract: In this work, we propose Semantic Tourist Data Innovation System (ViSIS) - a framework to generate linked dataset of tourism such as restaurants, hotels, attractions and hospitals. ViSIS extracts and integrates information about places from various relational datasets which contain the data from many different social media or location-based websites such as Foursquare, Agoda, Mytour, etc. These enormous and heterogeneous data are converted into a semantic knowledge base, which currently consists of more than 100,000 places in Vietnam and has started to expand with the information from other famous cities, i.e. London, Barcelona and Rome. This paper will describe the architecture of ViSIS, its processes and present an improved method for categorizing places.

Abstract: While ODA mostly funds the fundamental rather than the proximate determinants of growth; its economic effectiveness is often denied using short run empirical findings. Considering this inappropriate, long term reassessments are now conducted. However, they still consider ODA and growth as homogeneous. Subsequently, these reassessments fail to capture specific nexuses between their respective components. Drawing on co-integration features of SSA data, this paper fills that gap. Unlike in most short run studies, the estimation results show that both aid-grants and aid-loans positively affect the overall growth with a higher magnitude assigned to aid-loans. More importantly, when shifting focus from the overall to the inequality adjusted growth, both components perform much better. However, while the annual adjustment of deviations from this long run equilibrium is 10% for the inequality adjusted growth, it is only 0.02% for the impact on the overall growth. This spells out why most short
