Current Trends in Semantic Web Technologies: Theory and Practice

Abstract

The proliferation of mobile devices and the constant improvement of their processing capabilities has helped the improvement of other technologies, such as AR (Augmented Reality). On the other hand, there are currently more organizations that make their information available to society, such as the pharmaceutical industry, this helps the growth of the LODD (Linked Open Drug Data). Therefore, in this document we present ARLOD (Augmented Reality in Linked Open Data cloud) an application for mobile devices that integrates AR information obtained from the LODD datasets, with the intention that between the two technologies they complement each other to help solve the limitations that each of them presents and with the intention that ARLOD becomes a support tool for people involved in the field of health care. Likewise, a proposed architecture for the integration of these technologies is presented, demonstrating its usefulness through the development of ARLOD.
