Abstract

An enormous amount of information stored in semantic format has become available nowadays. In order to browse this huge data, the development of different browsers has become necessary. Today, many browsers available, but these are typically desktop applications. Vast knowledge bases have been created by means of linking the different public datasets. The efficient query of these data is a difficult problem. The currently available browsers typically do not allow browsing over the federated datasets, generally displaying only the information of a specified dataset. In this paper a mobile semantic web information system is presented, which allows smartphones to browse federated semantic datasets. In addition, the details of data integrator middleware and the Android-based client and the evaluation are described.
