Bumblehood is based on semantic data organization and utilizes the topic maps paradigm[2], enabling access to contextual information. It is oriented on providing geo-specific knowledge and local business directories with user opinions and reviews. Some of the covered topics include geography, economy, politics, history, culture, points of interest, various local information etc.[3] The portal's content can be edited by any registered user through a WYSIWYG wiki interface, and all information is accessible without the need for registration. The novelty over similar websites is the introduction of semantic classification of data.
BumbleMap is a software platform for collaborative knowledge management that the Bumblehood portal is being run on[4]. It is based on the topic maps paradigm and provides tree-based visualization of the topic map with a contextual menu adhering to typing of topics, associations and occurrences.
