Logic-Based Open Hypermedia for the Semantic Web

A challenge of the semantic web is provision of distributed information with well defined meaning, understandable for different parties. The aim of open hypermedia research has been to support such understanding on hypertext structures since several years. In this paper we show how the semantic web resource description formats can be utilized for automatic generation of hypertext structures from distributed metadata. Ontologies and metadata for three types of resources (domain, user, and observation) are investigated. We investigate a logic-based approach to open hypermedia using TRIPLE, rule-based language for the semantic web. keywords: open hypermedia, semantic web, ontologies, adaptive hypermedia.
