Using semantic web approach in augmented audio reality system for museum visitors

In this paper, we describe our work in progress on the reasoning module of ec(h)o, an augmented audio-reality interface for museum visitors utilizing spatialized soundscapes and a semantic web approach to information. We used ontologies to describe the semantics of sound objects and represent user model. A rulebased system for selecting sound object uses semantic description of objects, visitor's interaction history and heuristics for continuity of the dialogue between user and the system.
