Abstract: |
Semantic Web Technologies
are ideally suited to build context-aware information retrieval applications.
However, the geospatial aspect of context awareness presents unique
challenges such as the semantic modelling of
geographical references for efficient handling of spatial queries, the
reconciliation of the heterogeneity at the semantic and geo-representation levels,
maintaining the quality of service and scalability of communicating, and the
efficient rendering of the spatial queries’ results. In this paper, we
describe the modelling decisions taken to solve
these challenges by analysing our implementation of
an intelligent planning and recommendation tool that provides location-aware advice
for a specific application domain. This paper contributes to the methodology
of integrating heterogeneous geo-referenced data into semantic knowledgebases, and also proposes mechanisms for efficient
spatial interrogation of the semantic knowledgebase and optimising
the rendering of the dynamically retrieved context-relevant information on a web
frontend. |
