Abstract:
Within the manufacturing and process industries pervasive computing is still less prominent than in other areas. This is mainly due to the lack of mobile solutions that are adapted to the special requirements for industrial tasks. This paper presents a novel mobile application for navigation in Linked Data. It follows the principle of limited purpose applications: support a single task and be good at it. First, we introduce a data model for representing reversible neighborhood relations in Linked Data. Second, we provide a human computer-interface for mobile devices that hides the complexity of the Linked Data Cloud. It allows browsing of reversible neighborhood relations such as industrial Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams and can be generalized to support arbitrary predecessor-successor networks. Third, we discuss our concept in respect to a real life example of a maintenance task in a large industrial plant.
