Abstract

Semantic search is intrinsically suited for information retrieval in field research, where keyword search is burdensome for users. Also, exploitation of mobile and facility sensors is now prevailing, but applications are still vague. Therefore, LOD can serve as an intermediary interpreting the semantics of the users and their environmental information obtained by the sensors and connecting it to the collective intelligence on the net. In this paper, to build ecosystem of LOD used in the field, we propose a mechanism of LOD content generation and its field application. Firstly, we introduce an Android application, which searches a plant fitting the environmental conditions obtained by the sensors from Plant LOD. Then, we show that our LOD generation mechanism builds the Plant LOD from the Web with an accuracy of 85 to 97%.
