Abstract

We present in this work a new contribution that bridges the gap in context modelling and description in end-to-end system in a context-aware framework. We specifically propose an improved mapping between two language modules, namely XML and OWL, which makes it possible for the context manager to probe the different entities that build up the context (e.g. devices, sensors, profiles, etc) in a seamless manner. We highlight our proposal through an implementation.
