Purpose – XML Schema is used to define schema of XML documents that have become standards for data exchange in various Web-based information applications. The main problem of XML Schema is that it emphasizes syntax and format rather than semantics and knowledge representation. Hence, even though having the advantage of describing the structure and constraining the contents of XML documents, XML Schema lacks the computer-interpretability to support knowledge representation for existing information systems. The purpose of this study is to propose role-mapping annotations for XML Schema (RMAXS) to integrate Semantic Web with XML Schema, which allows the facilitation interoperability between adjoining layers of the Semantic Web stack. Design/methodology/approach – The XML, XML Schema, ontology, and rule can be completely integrated into a multi-layered intelligent framework (MIF) for XML-based applications in the current web environment. This work presents a semantic-role-mapping intelligent system, called SRMIS, based on the MIF. SRMIS consists of XML-based document repository, search engine, inference engine and transformation engine, which provides different approaches to present the various metadata and knowledge representations. Findings – The traditional Semantic Web stack has three gaps between adjoining layers. The first gap, between the XML and XML Schema layers can be bridged with an XMLSchema-instance mechanism. The third gap, between the ontology and rule layers can be connected by building rules on top of ontologies. This study proposes RMAXS to couple the second gap, between the XML schema and ontology layers. The proposed multi-layered intelligent framework (MIF) adopts these coupling technologies to facilitate interoperability between adjoining layers. Therefore, the XML, XML Schema, ontology, and rule can be completely integrated into the MIF for intelligent applications in the web environment. Practical implications – To demonstrate the SRMIS applications, this work implements a prototype that helps researchers to find interested papers. Originality/value – This work presents a semantic-role-mapping intelligent system, called SRMIS, based on the MIF. SRMIS consists of XML-based document repository, search engine, inference engine and transformation engine, which provides different approaches to present the various metadata and knowledge representations. The proposed SRMIS can be applied in various application domains.

“…By considering the physical and performance constraints on a device, such as screen size, memory size, and connection bandwidth, a significant challenge in context-aware healthcare information rendering is automatically converting heterogeneous markup based documents into the desired XML-based format, which can be understood by a specific device. The heterogeneous markup-based context-aware healthcare information conversion is a type of transcoding [17], which is a technology used to adapt the visual output of healthcare information so that they can be viewed or processed by the multiple devices of healthcare systems.…”

As the context-aware technologies and RFID-based sensor devices continue to emerge, the existing healthcare systems are the lack of a uniformly access to cope with the heterogeneous effects, including various context-aware healthcare information presentation, client device constraints, and context-aware healthcare middleware. To allow interoperability among the various context-aware healthcare systems, a common standard is needed to uniformly access context-aware healthcare information provided via a fundamental infrastructure. The Sensor Web 2.0 technologies provide a catalytic solution to this problem. This study addresses these issues developing a RFID-based Context-aware Healthcare System (RCHS) which is based on wireless communication architecture and is implemented in the Web 2.0 environment. The RCHS is composed of RFID-based Healthcare Sensor, RFID-based Context-aware Healthcare Middleware, and Mobile Client to allow a continuous and context-aware health monitoring for patients.

“…This section presents a preliminary experiment for evaluating the performance of the context information transcoding and the response time of context presentation. The Transcoding Engine of MWCAMS is a kind of template-based transcoder [34], which adopts some transformation language, such as XSL, XSLT, and CSS, to describe rules for transforming XML-based document. Currently, the Transcoding Engine of MWCAMS has offered three XSLT style sheets, XML2XHTML, XML2RSS, and XML2SMS, to convert XML-based context information to XHTML, RSS, and SMS, respectively.…”

The rapid development of the wireless communication technologies, including wireless sensors, intelligent mobile devices, and communication protocols, has led to diverse mobile devices of accessing various context-aware systems. Existing context-aware systems only focus on characterize the situation of an entity to exhibit the advantage of contextual information association. The contextual information can represent semantic implications to provide decidable reasoning services, but it has no mechanism to facilitating the interoperability and reusability among heterogeneous context-aware systems and various mobile devices. This study addresses these issues developing a Multi-layer Context Framework (MCF) that integrates Web 2.0 technologies into context-aware system for supporting ubiquitous mobile environment. The proposed MCF includes context sensor layer, context information layer, context service layer, context representation layer, mobile device layer, and context-aware mobile Web 2.0 application layer. To demonstrate the feasibility of the infrastructure, a Mobile Web 2.0-based Context-aware Attendance Monitoring System (MWCAMS) is implemented with ZigBee devices to provide continuous and context-aware monitoring of employee attendance status.
