Abstract

Mobile web-services often use location information for service customisation. Most such services operate on the user’s physical/geographical location. Unfortunately, such common forms of location carry little context information. In the CoolTown project at HP Labs, we have addressed this deficiency by defined an orthogonal form of location – Semantic location. Use of this form of location can also help lower the risk of invasion of privacy.
