Abstract | This paper presents our work on how devices in user’s ambient environment are discovered and described as well as manually constructing a multimedia domain ontology in OWL-DL format using MPEG-21 DIA (Digital Item Adaptation) vocabulary. The main contribution of this work is to present an approach for converting the device description leveraged on the standardised resource discovery protocol UPnP to an OWL ontology instance which is compliant with the MPEG-21 DIA OWL-DL ontology. Such a conversion approach can be applied also to other Web oriented description models, such as UAProf. |
