An OWL 2-Based Knowledge Platform Combining the Social and Semantic Webs for an Ambient Childhood Obesity Prevention System

Amid the extremely active Semantic Web community and the Social Web's exceptionally rising popularity, experts believe that an amplified fusion between the two webs will give rise to the next huge advancement in Web intelligence. Such advances can particularly be translated into ambient and ubiquitous systems and applications. In this paper, we delve into the recent advances in knowledge representation, semantic web, natural language processing and online social networking data and concepts, to propose an inclusive platform and framework defining ambient recommender and decision support systems that aim at facilitating cross-sectional analysis of the domain of childhood obesity and generating both generic and customized preventive recommendations.
