Abstract :
A new generation of mobile device users is coming of age in the next decade. These users can explore the mobile internet with its new features, services, and applications. Recently, an application platform like the Google´s Android mobile platform has revolutionized open applications development for the mobile platform. As increasing number of companies expose their services as web services, enabling flexible mobile access to distributed Web resources is a very relevant challenge. However, the current web is a collection of human readable pages that are unintelligible to computer programs. Semantic Web and Web services have the potential of overcoming this limitation. Semantic Web technology and the advent of universal and mobile access to Internet services, provides additional features like knowledge-based, location or context aware information. For this, a standard ontology called ontology Web language for services (OWL-S) is employed. The vision is to automatically discover services like sensor Web service, geospatial information service, etc from mobile. In this work, we apply the above methods to the coastal sensor Web.
