An ontology-supported information agent shell for ubiquitous services

The paper proposed and developed a core component an “information agent shell,” IAS, to apply in the general Web systems and investigate the related problems with the extension in a wide variety of application areas. The shell contains the four main components: OntoCrawler, OntoExtractor, OntoClassifier, and OntoRecommender, which are responsible for information searching, information extracting, information classifying, and information representing/ranking, respectively. Inside the shell, it would introduce the ubiquitous interface agent more to explore the related problems of the ontology-supported information agent shell in ubiquitous environments. The preliminary experimental outcomes can also show forth on basic efficiencies of related sub-systems.
