Extending Semantic Web Tools for Improving Smart Spaces Interoperability and Usability

چکیده
This paper explores the main challenges to be tackled for more accessible, and easy to use, Smart Spaces. We propose to use Semantic Web principles of interoperability and flexibility to build an end-user graphical model for rapid prototyping of Smart Spaces applications. This approach is implemented as a visual rule-based system that can be mapped into SPARQL queries. In addition, we add support to represent imprecise and fuzzy knowledge. Our approach is exemplified in the experimental section using a context-aware test-bed scenario.

Enhancing Semantic and Social Navigation in Information-Rich Virtual Worlds
Virtual Worlds are a popular medium for communication and collaboration in 3D and they are being utilized as shared information spaces in various application areas, such as education, culture and entertainment. Being presented as 3D visualization spaces they adopt a spatial model of navigation, in which information artifacts have a certain position in space and users can access them through the...
متن کاملBenchmarking ontology-based annotation tools for the Semantic Web
This paper discusses and explores the main issues for evaluating ontology-based annotation tools, a key component in text mining applications for the Semantic Web. Semantic annotation and ontologybased information extraction technologies form the cornerstone of such applications. There has been a great deal of work in the last decade on evaluating traditional information extraction (IE) systems...
متن کاملKnowledge Sharing Protocol for Smart Spaces
In this paper we present a novel knowledge sharing protocol (KSP) for semantic technology empowered ubiquitous computing systems. In particular the protocol is designed for M3 which is a blackboard based semantic interoperability solution for smart spaces. The main difference between the KSP and existing work is that KSP provides SPARQL-like knowledge sharing mechanisms in compact binary format...
