Abstract:
Tight competition within mobile technology domain resulted to quite advanced applications and services for the users. Among them there are mobile (augmented and mixed) realities as an effort to enhance real-world observation by bridging it with virtual worlds of relevant data and services. At the same time, due to emerging Semantic Technology, the Web content moves rapidly towards Linked Data. The layer of machine-processable semantics allows automated processing of the content by Web-based Business Intelligence (BI) applications and services. Real-time analytics related to various real-life objects provided to the users of Mixed Reality by online BI services would be a nice enhancement of the technology. In this paper we propose "Executable Reality" as an enhancement of the "Mixed Reality" concept within two dimensions (utilization of Linked Data and BI on top of it). We present "Executable Knowledge" as a tool to enable Linked Reality and "Executable Focus" to control it by a user. Executable knowledge in addition to subject-predicate-object semantic triplet model (in ontological terms) contains also subject-predicate-query triplets. Actual value for the properties based on a new triplet will be computed "on-the-fly" (based on user request navigated by executable focus) by some online BI service or other computational capability provider at a right time and place according to the dynamic user context.
