A project funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR).

The RMM2 project aimed at extracting events in the field of tourism and leisure to enrich the flows produced in partnership between AFP and Relaxnews in French and English and to develop new visualizations of tourism/leisure related information in the form of mashups (composite services combining mapping and temporal representation), on a WAP mobile site or on iPhone and iPad applications.

Beside AFP and Relaxnews, other project partners were the L3I University computer lab of La Rochelle and the MoDyCo computational linguistics laboratory of the University of Paris X Nanterre.
