Abstract—Although Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network is aimed basically at home/ office service automation for general purposes, it can turn out to support for ubiquitous learning objective as well, if somewhat level of semantic capability will be involved. In this paper, we discuss how the UPnP network infrastructure should be polished with the Linked Data principle for enabling semantic-based ubiquitous learning services so that sharing digital contents can be done between heterogeneous devices in an effective manner, without the need of many distinct learning standards. In addition, we describe a case of simple quiz to illustrate how the Linked Data publishing of distributed multimedia resources can be utilized in our extended UPnP architecture.

Index Terms—Linked data, semantic web, ubiquitous mobile learning, UPnP.
