Representing Context on the SemanticWeb 

Representing Context on the SemanticWeb (PDF file)
by Elena Paslaru Bontas

"Abstract: In this paper we analyze the dimensions of context for the Semantic Web. Starting from a definition which in our opinion relates to most of the ways context was understood in computer science before, we propose a context ontology and an architecture for a context modelling framework to control the acquisition of contextual information for typical information items on the Semantic Web (e.g. ontologies, Web Services) and to assist the development of context-sensitive applications."

"Finally we try to estimate the role of context in the novel scenario of the Semantic Web, by studying the particularities of this setting, compared to the Artificial Intelligence or Natural Language Processing ones, and the consequences of these particularities in resolving the key questions concerning context. The Context Modelling Framework intends to put these ideas into practice, by offering an environment for the development of context-sensitive applications on the Semantic Web and for the integration of context aspects in available applications, on the basis of a context ontology."
