| Abstract |
All information in today’s society is integrated centering on the Web, and with the widespread distribution of the Internet, various methods are devised to construct a huge information space that interconnects different sources of information. As the amount of information shared in cyberspace is increasing exponentially and the initial technology of Web Link faces its limitations in processing the data, recently introduced are the more intelligent semantic Web that auto-processes a huge amount of information between the computers/programs and its platform technology as a result, application systems utilizing next-generation. Web technologies have been developed in the way information is automatically processed by the computer that understands, interprets, integrates, and reuses information sources. Conventional urban space information is basically restricted to facilities and buildings, and yet space information itself and its characteristics have not been properly incorporated. The reason being, a better-defined information is needed in communicating information between the intelligent machines prior to the studies of providing user-oriented information. Besides, several questions need to be addressed in selecting user-appropriate information as well as enhancing data interpretation and automaticity. This study utilizingthe semantic Web-based mash-up services comes up with developing an intelligent agent to use environmental information more effectively, thus tailoring user contextual data to further provide more user-oriented information services in planning and managing cities. |
