An OWL-Based Knowledge Model for Combined-Process-and-Location Aware Service

Abstract

This paper presents a knowledge model for spatiotemporal context awareness. The knowledge model is designed to understand user goals and to guide users who perform complicated tasks involving several routes, such as tasks at a hospital. An information system should be able to consider both the location and process context to provide relevant guidance regarding tasks, their location, and their process, as location and process information are collaboratively associated. A service that is both process-and-location-aware is considered, and a knowledge model that represents the semantics of the proposed process-and-location-aware service is given.
