Abstract
Location Based services (LBS) is a recent concept that integrates a mobile device’s location with other information in order to provide added value to a user. Although Location Based Services provide users with much comfortable information, there are some complex issues. One of the most important issue is managing and sharing heterogeneous and numerous data in decentralized environments. The problem makes interoperability among LBS middleware, LBS contents providers, and LBS applications difficult. In this paper, we propose Semantic LBS Model as one of the solution to resolve the problem. Semantic LBS Model is a LBS middleware model that includes a data model for LBS POI information and its processing mechanism based on Semantic Web technologies. Semantic LBS Model provide rich expressiveness, interoperability, flexibility, and advanced POI retrieval services by associating POI Description Language (POIDL) ontology with heterogeneous domain specific ontologies.
