Leveraging ambient applications interactions with their environment to improve services selection relevancy

Description

Semantic web technologies are gaining momentum in the WoT (Web of Things) community for its promising ability to manage the increasing semantic heterogeneity between devices (Semantic Web of Things, SWoT). However, most of the approaches rely on ad-hoc and static knowledge models (ontologies) designed for specific domains and applications. While it is a solution for handling the semantic heterogeneity issue, it offers no perspective in term of ontology evolution over time. We study in this poster several approaches allowing: (1) to handle the semantic heterogeneity issue; (2) to capitalize the knowledge contributions throughout the life of the system allowing it to potentially better assist people in their environment over time. One of the approaches is validated on a real use-case.
