Abstract: We use semantic web technology to utilize the world wide web for a large-scale ubiquitous (qualitative and geometric) location model, in order to achieve shareability and extensibility at low operational cost. Our intention is to model location and user characteristics, in order to realize location aware applications with a focus on pedestrian navigation in buildings and situated user interaction. We present the ubiquitous symbolic location and situational context model UbisWorld and the tool Yamamoto for the modeling of hierarchical geometrical maps.
