Abstract

We present a modular framework for a business-to-customer communication service integrating several communication channels. Using such a service it is possible to find hidden relationships between messages and thus collect more customer-related data. The framework core is a message-conversion engine capable of converting channel-independent abstract messages into concrete messages and vice-versa. The conversion process is context-dependent. The context consists of formally described communication channel characteristics and user preferences. The framework is based on semantic technologies due to a balance between their expressive power, reasoning properties, and existence of production-quality tools. This chapter describes the multi-channel communication framework with relation to its components. Among others we discuss message conversion and channel selection.
