Title
Semantics of Place: Ontology Enrichment
Abstract
In this paper, we present an approach to a challenge well known from the area of Ubiquitous Computing: extracting meaning out of geo-referenced information. The importance of this "semantics of place" problem is proportional to the number of available services and data that are common nowadays. Having rich knowledge about a place, we open up a new realm of "Location Based Services" that can behave more intelligently. Our approach builds on Ontology Engineering techniques in order to build a network of semantic associations between a place and related concepts. We briefly describe the KUSCO system and present some preliminary results.
