A Semantic-Enabled Mobile Directory Service for RFID-Based Logistics Applications
Michèle Ruta, Tommaso Di Noia, Eugenio Di Sciascio, Giacomo Piscitelli, Floriano Scioscia · 2008
We propose a mobile directory service explicitly devised for pervasive RFID contexts. The registry adopts an OWL-S 1.1 Profile instance annotation of mobile services and resources. Ontology-based metadata are exploited in order to perform a semantic-based service discovery with respect to a given request. A case study to support logistics in RFID environments is presented along with experimental results on a prototype implementation.
