Augmenting Mobile Search Engine with Semantic Web and Context Awareness

This paper proposes a mobile search engine for smart devices, which effectively augments the result of local semantic search with useful Web information according to the intent and context of a mobile user. To support an intuitive query, we employ the conventional natural language user interface, which supports voice recognition. Through the prototype implementation of the proposed search engine, we find that it provides more meaningful search results semantically and contextually, compared with the conventional keyword-based search engines of mobile devices.
