Home About NRCC Research Projects Publications Image Gallery Blog Overview: SWAPMeThe SWAPMe (Semantic Web Application Platform for Mobile Ecosystems) project will develop a new software architecture that will enable the mobile ecosystem to take maximum advantage of the power of the Semantic Web data model. In order to develop a platform that will enable devices, applications, and agents on the platform to be both context-aware (able to adapt to aspects of the userr to interact with other services, agents and users), we believe we must address three major research challenges:
The core goal of the SwapMe architecture is to create an environment enabling a wide range of developers (from 3rd party service providers to naive users)t o develop services and techniques that enable end-users to take maximum advantage of the data and services available to them in the Mobile Ecosystem and the larger information infrastructures in which they participate. Building from the Semantic Web data model, we propose a software platform composed of the following:
We envision a portable device whose local environment is constantly changing and in which a user's goal has a constantly changing focus. Hence, even once all aspects of the environment are represented in the overarching Semantic Web data model, users and their agents will still have substantial challenges managing heterogeneity. This is the challenge that the SwapMe platform must meet.
