Summary of issues discussed regarding the context aspects in related works, Section 2.

IssueKey factorConsideration

• Supporting openness• Metadata• Objects in the real world are nonunified to describe characteristics and implement interfaces for various domains.
• Datasets are individually structural, different, or unstructured formats.....
• Knowledgebase• Metadata concepts provide possible solutions for the openness issues.
• Lack of guidelines for handling context as data enrichment• Behavior how datasets are processed• Sensing values can be collected and managed in generalized behaviors.
• Building up information sets into equivalent abstraction level• Each processing phase has independent concepts or equations for measurement units.
• Readability for users and relevant systems• Processed results should be represented and interpreted in a simplified form to overcome individually different query usages.
• Functionalities provision for nonskilled users• ROS-based functionalities• ROS-based functionalities consist of combinations of nodes, topics, and messages.
• Interfaces for readability• Rosbridge is one of open-source projects that interconnect with both ROS and non-ROS operating systems.
• Resolving conflicts for service developers and users• Relevant surrounding information sets, such as how to control robots or manage services, should be provided as a metadata element. Then, they help to provide a broad view of implementation to the nonskilled users.
