Personal Knowledge Advantage Machine: Pervasive Methods for Semantic Information Retrieval

Abstract

We present a new framework for visualization and retrieval of knowledge organized as a personal semantic web. This framework is an extension of other semantic web technologies and aims to achieve a fast, elegant solution to carrying your knowledge with you. The architecture described has been developed on the Google Android platform and embedded OpenGL. We call this a Personal Knowledge Advantage Machine (pKaM) as it is designed to access a personalized semantic network using a user-specific ontology. This also includes a graphical browser which enables a user visualize the portion of the semantic network that is relevant to the specific user context.
