Abstract. Ontologies are a widely accepted instrument for the modeling of context information. We consider the identification of the benefits and difficulties of ontology-based modeling to be an important next step to further improve the usability of ontologies in context-aware systems. We gather a set of criteria with respect to ontology engineering and context modeling and analyze some recent outcomes in the area of ontology-based context modeling. This state of the art analysis shall help to determine the necessary steps to fully exploit ontologies in pervasive computing. 1
