N2 - The ontology-based semantic approaches are gradually gaining momentum in ambient intelligent environments such as smart homes, smart cars, intelligent offices, etc. In spite of the significant research work carried out in the ontology design and application field, several issues remain unresolved. The ontologies mainly focus on specific context information features. The capabilities of services from different functional domains are rarely addressed and are not aligned with context ontologies. No attempt has been made to integrate the existing ontologies, facilitating their future extension with emerging new technologies for networks, devices, software architectures and platforms. Moreover, the application developer support facilitating better understanding of semantic technologies is still in its infancy. The research work presented in this paper tackles the aforementioned issues.
