SmartWeb aims to provide intuitive multimodal access to a rich selection of Web-based information services. We report on the current
prototype with a smartphone client interface to the Semantic Web. An advanced ontology-based representation of facts and media
structures serves as the central description for rich media content. Underlying content is accessed through conventional web
service middleware to connect the ontological knowledge base and an intelligent web service composition module for external
web services, which is able to translate between ordinary XML-based data structures and explicit semantic representations
for user queries and system responses. The presentation module renders the media content and the results generated from the
services and provides a detailed description of the content and its layout to the fusion module. The user is then able to
employ multiple modalities, like speech and gestures, to interact with the presented multimedia material in a multimodal way.
