Configurable semantic services leveraging applications context-aware

In order to tackle the complex and time-consuming task of building context-aware applications, the literature has reported the development of service infrastructures for context management. This paper presents the service infrastructure for semantic context management Semantic Context Kernel, which provides a novel set of semantic-enabled services. Those services can be personalized according to context-aware applications' requirements so as to facilitate the prototyping of such applications. We also show how a web-based recommender system can make use of those services to store, query and reason about context.
