Abstract
These days, the number of data sources an ordinary computer
user works with every day is very large and continues to grow.
With the increasing number of cloud services with specialized
functionalities, the users are faced with the necessity to
routinely perform manual actions to interchange data among
different cloud and web services, in order to perform more
complex and composite actions. These actions always require a
certain amount of dedicated time from the user, who has to
change the context in which he work, in order to take the
actions and transfer data from one system to another. In this
paper, we present a software platform, based on the concepts
and technologies of the Semantic Web, which provides the
users with a unified and simple composite approach to the
different services they use, and crates a simple flow of
information from one infrastructure to another. The system is
able to automatically discover the context in which the user is
working, and offer him the actions which can be used over the
data within the context. In this way, the user can completely
focus on his tasks in his work environment, and get relevant
information and possible actions in that context. This system

improvements in their productivity, information exchange and
efficiency. The system is called „ Semantic Sky“ and represents
a platform where many cloud services are interconnected by the
use of semantic web technologies.
