Introduction
• Context – What is it?
• Semantic context.
• Benefits from having a context ?
![Page 3: Semantic Context Specification April 28, 2004 Amit Nanda, Reiman Rabbani, Maciej Janik](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649f385503460f94c54e05/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Example – Hotel check-in
• David– business trip– has to get up at 7am– does not like AC– has to watch CNN
finance news– teetotaller
• Robert– leisure trip– can sleep till 9am– likes to have cool room– watches Sports– likes to drink champaign

![Page 6: Semantic Context Specification April 28, 2004 Amit Nanda, Reiman Rabbani, Maciej Janik](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649f385503460f94c54e05/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Context: TASK
• Operation that has to be performed.
• Goal to accomplish.• Assumption : Task has to be application
specific for best results.• Example : Task = travel. On expedia.com
and on amazon.com, results differ.
![Page 7: Semantic Context Specification April 28, 2004 Amit Nanda, Reiman Rabbani, Maciej Janik](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649f385503460f94c54e05/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Context: DATA
• Vast store of information, covering different domains, a part of which constitutes the end result for user task.
• In semantic web, all data corresponds to real world objects and objects have different types of relations between each other
• Denoted in the form of triples, encoded as graphs in RDF files.
![Page 8: Semantic Context Specification April 28, 2004 Amit Nanda, Reiman Rabbani, Maciej Janik](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649f385503460f94c54e05/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Context: ONTOLOGY
• “Specification of a conceptualization.”*• Can be visualized as skeleton or
framework for the data.
• Specified by OWL or DAML-OIL.• Assumption : a task that needs to be
executed, should have a well defined ontology.
*Gruber, T.R. A Translation Approach to Portable Ontology Specifications. 1993.

Profile Ontology Dynamic Profile Update
• ‘Profile’ as an ontology• Assumption: Everything in the ontology is a
universally defined object• When new object are required the ontology and
relationships of that object can be downloaded• User profile may or may not be updated.• If task is executed using the user’s context, profile is
updated based on rules & settings.• If user’s profile has no information regarding task and
if it’s still executed, profile is updated using current results.
• Profile is not updated if task is not executed

![Page 16: Semantic Context Specification April 28, 2004 Amit Nanda, Reiman Rabbani, Maciej Janik](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649f385503460f94c54e05/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Security Issues
• Greater the details provided by user application from user’s profile, better the result.
• But the user application is required not to provide user details regarding salary, SSN, bank account etc
• This is a constraint or drawback.
![Page 17: Semantic Context Specification April 28, 2004 Amit Nanda, Reiman Rabbani, Maciej Janik](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649f385503460f94c54e05/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Conclusions
• In our model, context is created on application side, using information provided by user or profile.
• Specialized application is able to create a better context, than general user application.
![Page 18: Semantic Context Specification April 28, 2004 Amit Nanda, Reiman Rabbani, Maciej Janik](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649f385503460f94c54e05/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Conclusions
• Because of the vastness of application areas, difficult to categorize them into definite types.
• Generalization of context is difficult and not always feasible.
• It is not possible to create a unified context that suits every need.
![Page 19: Semantic Context Specification April 28, 2004 Amit Nanda, Reiman Rabbani, Maciej Janik](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56649f385503460f94c54e05/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Conclusions
• Profile may grow to enormous proportions (including vast amount of information) and become hard to manage.
• Security issues may arise, because of complexity of data.
• Excessive transparency of profile will lead to abuse by malicious applications
• Sensitive information can be inferred and rules can be bypassed by use of circular logic by dishonest programmers
• Future work: apply this model of context to different applications.
