Multi-Source Queries
For questions that span multiple data types, query relevant APIs in parallel and combine:
Example: "我想去中環，天氣點？有冇車位？"
- •Weather:
dataType=rhrread→ current conditions - •GeoData:
locationSearch?q=central→ get coordinates - •Parking:
vacancy_all.xml→ filter by Central district - •Present combined answer
