Knowledge and Ontology Engineering for Smart Services

Abstract

This work points out different aspects of a methodology that is concerned with how hypermedia content can be shared in real time through ubiquitous network and in systems context-awareness, mediated by knowledge engineering. The software components that are shared within these environments all share non-functional requirements of high reliability, availability and security. Addition to techniques of knowledge engineering and ontology engineering, these non-functional requirements need to be addressed also by the methodology. Furthermore, that type of service application also should address other modeling aspects that are related to inter-organizational aspects like culture, power and relationship. These methodological aspects are described also in this work. The benefits of applying this approach is the added value for those who need to model not just the ubiquitous software application but also the knowledge engineering aspects that allow the Hypermedia content in to be share in an ubiquitous network.
