Abstract

Location-based services have evolved significantly during the last few years and are reaching a maturity phase, relying primarily on the experience gained and the utilization of recent technologies. Taking advantage of these opportunities, this paper presents a context-aware navigation guide, strongly connected to the semantics behind user profile. Our approach, which focuses on indoor environments, uses OWL ontologies to capture and formally model profile and context information, and reasons on the ontology data using rules in order to support personalized context-aware navigation services. To test and demonstrate the approach, a prototype has been developed that documents the flexibility of the design.
