Abstract:
A full exploitation of semantics in mobile environments enhances discovery effectiveness allowing the instant fruition of services and resources. Hence, nowadays ever increasing efforts are spent in making available tools able to exploit Semantic Web techniques and technologies also in ubiquitous computing. This paper presents a platform-independent mobile semantic discovery framework as well as a working prototypical implementation, which enables advanced knowledge-based services taking into account user’s location. The proposed approach is explained and motivated in a ubiquitous tourism case study, where some early evaluations are presented to prove its feasibility and usefulness.
