Semantic-Based Bluetooth-RFID Interaction for Advanced Resource Discovery in Pervasive Contexts

We propose a novel object discovery framework integrating the application layer of Bluetooth and RFID standards. The approach is motivated and illustrated in an innovative u-commerce setting. Given a request, it allows an advanced discovery process, exploiting semantically annotated descriptions of goods available in the u-marketplace. The RFID data exchange protocol and the Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol have been modified and enhanced, to enable support for such semantic annotation of products. Modifications to the standards have 1 This is a draft version of the paper appearing in: International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS), Volume 4, Number 1, page 50--74 - 2008
