Applying Semantic Web Technology in a Mobile Setting: The Person Matcher

In a mobile setting, users use, handle and search for online information in a different way. Two features typically desired by mobile users are tailored information delivery and context awareness. In this paper, we elaborate a demo application that is built upon the existing SCOUT framework, which supports mobile, context-aware applications. The application illustrates the use of intrinsic mobile features, such as context- and environmentawareness, and combines them with the use of Semantic Web technologies to integrate and tailor knowledge present in distributed data sources.
