Abstract

With the advancement of mobile devices' capabilities, it is possible to implement knowledge-based systems on the mobile devices. This development introduces a challenge of transferring knowledge between mobile devices and knowledge-based systems on the server side. This paper presents a novel representation, Entity Notation, to tackle this challenge. It can represent ontology knowledge in a straightforward fashion and allows incremental transfer of ontology. This unique feature makes Entity Notation an ideal solution for transferring knowledge in highly dynamic ubiquitous environments. Moreover, Entity Notation has a short format suitable for communication when resources are constrained. We address the design issues of the representation, demonstrate its usability by a small ontology, and evaluate it based on a set of ubiquitous ontologies.
