Abstract
This paper describes an ontology-based framework whose purpose is to collect content from various existing Web services in order to fulfill the information needs of mobility impaired users, while they are planning a trip, moving from a city to another, or performing home control activities during the trip. In order to access the user-requested content the tool is equipped with semantic Web service search and discovery mechanisms. The service alignment tool, which is part of the presented framework, enables different service providers to map their Web services against a set of ontologies in order to support the discovery and invocation of services.
