Abstract
This paper proposes a noble RFID system architecture, named uRFID, to support application domain-independent semantic interoperability under ubiquitous environment. The objective of the uRFID is to let ubiquitous RFID applications independently use information of tags in a consistent way in a variety of application domains. Although many researches have been studying to support the RFID applications, they do not consider the aforementioned semantic inconsistency issue. The uRFID is based on the metadata registry to achieve the goal. It provides an infrastructure support for the semantic consistency and application domain-independent information utilization. As a result, it enables high quality RFID applications to be developed for ubiquitous environment.
