Multimodal Interactive Systems to Manage Semantics Networked Human Work, in On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems

This paper proposes a holistic approach to enhance human knowledge in distributed and strictly linked contexts Current semantic web technologies focus their attention only on the machine side of the interaction process Our approach considers both the human and the machine working together to accomplish a task, stressing the importance of adapting data, tools and interactions to the different skills, contexts and tasks of the users Multimodal interactive systems based on Semantic Web technologies support the sharing of knowledge among co-workers in different real networked environments We present a scenario in the building sector, in which mobile systems are needed to reduce loosing of information on technical drawings from the building yard to the office The paper presents a specification method and its link to semantic web technologies to satisfy the emerging requirements.
