Abstract :
Service discovery in ubiquitous environment, as well as adding semantics to the data is quite established now. But, still there is no uniform framework for the identification of devices. A uniform identity mechanism which would help existing architectures interoperate, allow agents to roam autonomously and leverage the World Wide Web to its full potential. Here we have tried to achieve this by proposing a URI based architecture for the identification of ubiquitous objects and human. We have materialized our perspective by presenting a conceptual architecture. We argue that by using URIs for physical objects we could leverage the existing architectures of semantic Web and ubiquitous system to their highest potential. Our case studies at the end, second our argument, "A Semantically Ubiquitous Web".
