Enabling Semantics on Location Based Services Using Ontology Based Reasoning

Abstract

The main motive of current paper is to review and determine the most commonly used Location Based Services (LBS) and enabling semantics using ontology reasoning. The Location based services using ontology determines how semantics can be applied to make user context based reasoning framework. The objective is to develop framework (using ontology) which enables user based reasoning. Basically depending on the users context (date, time, longitude and latitude) the framework will infer overall useful information by considering contextual of user and inferring new knowledge on it. Even with knowledge of observed user locations, we can recognize mobility modes that are useful for several application domains.
