Abstract
With the usage of mobile devices becoming more and more ubiquitous, access to social networks such as Facebook and Twitter from those devices is increasing at a fast rate. Many different social networking applications for mobile devices exist but most of them only enable access to one social network. As users are often registered in multiple social networks, they have to use different applications for mobile access. Furthermore, most applications do not consider the users’ social context to aid them with their intentions. This paper presents our idea to model the user’s social context and intentions in social networks within an ontology. Based on this ontology we describe an interaction concept that allows publishing information in different social networks in a flexible way. We implemented a prototype to show how our findings can be presented. To conclude, we highlight some possibilities for the future of ontology-based social-aware applications.
