The Design and Implementation of Shared Ontologies for Smart Space Application
Junfeng Man, Qing Chen, Xiaoheng Deng, Yin-An Qiu · 2005
In smart space applications, we usually adopt semantic Web technologies for supporting pervasive context-aware ability to process many onerous tasks, e. g., knowledge sharing, context reasoning and interoperability. In order to achieve above purpose, it is necessary to exploit a Shared Ontologies for Pervasive Computing (SO4PC). These ontologies are expressed with standard Web Ontology Language(OWL) and include modular component vocabularies to represent intelligent agents with associated beliefs, desires, intentions, time, space, events, user profiles, actions, policies for security and private protection. We discuss how SO4PC can be extended and used to support the applications of Smart Meeting Rooms (SMR) which is a broker-centric agent architecture.
