Abstract
We describe a scripting language for smart space applications based on the OWL Web Ontology Language. The design goals of the scripting language are: I. A syntax that easily expresses common script applications for smart spaces. II. Based on OWL to enable synergy with semantic web technologies. III. Ease of implementation by using existing OWL reasoners.
We motivate the design of the scripting language and give some examples of how to use it. Furthermore, we will give a formal definition of the syntax and semantics of the scripting language based on the OWL 2 definition.
