The Object Memory Server for Semantic Product Memories

  • Chapter
SemProM

Part of the book series: Cognitive Technologies ((COGTECH))

Abstract

The SemProM format was basically designed for on-product RFID-based memories. Furthermore, some use cases demand centralized storage or data backups that cannot be achieved with on-product storage. For these cases (e.g., cheap products with very small labels, very large memories), a server-based solution might be more suitable. We developed the Object Memory Server (OMS) as an index server for product memories, based on the same set of metadata as the block format. The actual payload is outsourced to servers in the web. The URL used for accessing an OMS memory can be stored in simple and cheap RFID labels. Due to the large processing power of a server-based approach, the OMS can handle all SemProM incarnations, ranging from Reference SemProMs to Smart SemProMs. The conceptual ideas of the OMS were also transformed to provide a server-based solution for memories based on the W3C XG OMM format.
