Abstract:
This article presents a mobile system to answer structured queries into a research-academic domain using a spatial Ontology. The answers to queries are displayed on an Augmented Reality (AR) interface. The structure of query is a triplet formed by: interrogative adverb, verb and direct object. The case study is in a university campus. Queries are solved using semantic processing, for example, {Who can advise on vector calculus?}. Then, possible answers (researchers or professors candidates) are obtained applying semantic similarity on attributes defined into Ontology (e.g., level of expertise, research line to which it belongs, topic, etc.). Additionally, spatial parameters are included into the answer, such as: where researcher is located, schedules, colleagues, etc. The functionalities of system are: search persons based on qualitative and spatio-temporal attributes. The combination of a semantic approach with an augmented reality interface provides new possibilities to express queries; not only in text or based on location, but using AR with interactions. It is useful to locate persons in outdoor environments.
