TL;DR
Semantic Space is a pervasive computing infrastructure that exploits semantic Web technologies to support explicit representation, expressive querying, and flexible reasoning of contexts in smart spaces.
Abstract
Semantic Space is a pervasive computing infrastructure that exploits semantic Web technologies to support explicit representation, expressive querying, and flexible reasoning of contexts in smart spaces.

Knowledge AcquisitionA translation approach to portable ontology specifications
12,428 Citations1993Thomas Gruber
This paper describes a mechanism for defining ontologies that are portable over representation systems, basing Ontolingua itself on an ontology of domain-independent, representational idioms.
The anatomy of a context-aware application
1,113 Citations1999Andy Harter, Andy Hopper +3 more
A sensor-driven, or sentient, platform for context-aware computing that enables applications to follow mobile users as they move around a building and presents it in a form suitable for application programmers is described.
Ontology based context modeling and reasoning using OWL
1,092 Citations2004Xiao Hang Wang, Da Qing Zhang +2 more
An OWL encoded context ontology (CONON) is proposed for modeling context in pervasive computing environments, and for supporting logic-based context reasoning, and provides extensibility for adding domain-specific ontology in a hierarchical manner.
Jurnal Natural (Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, Syiah Kuala University)Providing architectural support for building context-aware applications
1,035 Citations2000Anind K. Dey, Gregory D. Abowd
This dissertation shows how the Context Toolkit has been used as a research testbed, supporting the investigation of difficult problems in context-aware computing such as the building of high-level programming abstractions, dealing with ambiguous or inaccurate context data and controlling access to personal context.
Jena

430 Citations2002Hans Gellersen, Albrecht Schmidt +1 more
This article proposes a different approach based on integration of multiple diverse sensors for awareness of situational context that can not be inferred from location, and targeted at mobile device platforms that typically do not permit processing of visual context.
Human-Computer InteractionAn Infrastructure Approach to Context-Aware Computing
361 Citations2001Jason Hong, James A. Landay
The advantages that a service infrastructure for context awareness has over other approaches are described, some of the core technical challenges that must be addressed before such an infrastructure can be built are outlined, and promising research directions for overcoming these challenges are pointed out.
A system architecture for context-aware mobile computing
313 Citations1995William Noah Schilit
This thesis explores how to support and also exploit the dynamic configurations and social settings characteristic of mobile systems and advances the following goals: enabling seamless interaction across devices; creating physical spaces that are responsive to users; and and building applications that are aware of the context of their use.
A probabilistic extension to ontology language OWL
228 Citations2004Zhongli Ding, Yun Peng
This work proposes to incorporate Bayesian networks (BN), a widely used graphic model for knowledge representation under uncertainty and OWL, the de facto industry standard ontology language recommended by W3C to support uncertain ontology representation and ontology reasoning and mapping.
