Abstract

With the rapid growth of network-enabled environment, the range of intelligent application services is widely expanding with continuous attempts to fully utilize highly accurate personal or environmental information. In parallel, a variety of professional knowledge data have been built up and provided to the public in the form of semantically linked ontology files. This phenomenon encourages us to focus on developing more flexible data mixing bowl, where the individual data are used to support their inherent functions and associated with different data to trigger inter-related complex services. This research has been evolved from the existing collaboration framework for a context-aware environment by integrating ontology gateway, the XOnt agent, as its ontology-enabled context-aware knowledge option. The ontology-enabled semantic reasoning scheme includes the XOntology combined with the Context-Aware Inference (CAI) model of the existing collaboration framework. Based on the properties of the ontology and behavioral activities of individual instances of the classes, the XOnt agent semantically evaluates current situation and controls the proposed ontology-enabled collaboration framework.
