Using Semantic Web Technology for Ubiquitous Hybrid Location Modeling

We use semantic web technology to utilize the world wide web for a large-scale ubiquitous hybrid location model, in order to achieve shareability and extensibility. Our intention is to model location and user characteristics, in order to realize location aware applications with focus on situated user interaction and pedestrian navigation. We present the ubiquitous symbolic location model UbisWorld and the tool Yamamoto for the modeling of hierarchical geometrical maps.
