Abstract

Annotating semantic data with metadata is becoming more and more important to provide information about the statements. While there are solutions to represent temporal information about a statement, a general annotation framework which allows representing more contextual information is needed. In this paper, we extend the 4dFluents ontology by Welty and Fikes to any dimension of context.
