Spatially Navigating the Semantic Web for User Adapted Presentations of Cultural Heritage Information in Mobile Environments

The integration of local and global information is an essential requirement for future location-based services. The development of two technologies for mobile devices, namely positioning devices like GPS and wireless communication networks, is encouraging the development of new kinds of spatial-and context-aware applications. The CHI project investigates the applicability of these technologies for context-aware mobile computing applications that take advantage of new metadata-standards to enable semantic, user and device adapted services in the field of Tourism and Cultural Heritage management and presentation.
