EXTENSÃO VIRTUAL DO MUNDO REAL: INTEGRAÇÃO SEMÂNTICA E INFERÊNCIA

Abstract

This paper presents a model for the extension of the real world through 3D Virtual Worlds system that ensures semantic integration and the ability to infer new information, using a common platform aggregating the Knowledge Base, reasoners for operate it open standards and interfaces for connections to the most diverse systems. It's motivation stems from the increasing use of 3D Virtual Worlds systems, 3D games that mix with the approach of social networks, and the lack of these systems in relation to the ability to semantically understand what happens to their avatars and users. This lack of semantics goes against the intended for the Internet evolution and considered beneficial by this author. This motivated this work to understand these technologies and build a prototype that adds to the 3D virtual world the ability to notify its users with information that is not manually provided to the Knowledge Base, but inferred from it, using data from the most elementary level
