A Semantic Context Management Framework on Mobile Device
Dexter H. Hu, Fan Dong, Cho‐Li Wang · 2009
We present a semantic context management framework named Context Torrent, which can make various types of context information be semantically searchable and sharable among local and remote context-aware applications. We implement this framework on the Google Android platform with its elegant application support. An open source RDF parser has been extended to effectively get RDF triples from files or over the network. Three embedded database systems were evaluated for storing ontology represented contexts in the resource-constrained mobile devices. We use the FOAF ontology schema and a synthetic data set of up to 2500 records to evaluate the context query and storage performance. Ordinary context queries can be replied instantaneously.
