Abstract

This paper presents an architecture and a prototype for querying and visualising context information. The COINS modelling approach is employed to define and record the target information and its context information of an application domain. Two querying methods are provided for retrieving the recorded information: 1) natural language query which targets at physical context information and; 2) visual query environment which aims at logical context information. A knowledge representation model, master dictionary, is employed to facilitate the analyses of natural language queries. A prototype system based on the puzzle game Sudoku is used to illustrate the visual querying method, which integrates a replaying mechanism for the recorded context information.
