Abstract

In this paper, we present X-COSIM, a framework for cross context semantic information management consisting of the ontology X-COSIMO and the application programming interface X-COSIMA. X-COSIM provides what is lacking in current semantic desktops: A consistent seamless integration of a conceptually broad reference model and context dependent conceptualizations as required by applications dedicated to supporting complex work processes. We present the design of X-COSIMO and illustrate the application of X-COSIM in a scenario that involves multiple desktop applications.
