ABSTRACT
In this paper we investigate the possibility how to enable transfer of meaningful game information between different video games. We explore the benefits of ontologies as a solution to this problem, and present an initial version of Game Ontology, a first step towards achieving interoperability between games.

An ontology for videogame interoperability
During the last 20 years, video games have become very popular and widely adopted in our society. However, despite the growth on video game industry, there is a lack of interoperability that allow developers to interchange their information freely and ...
The interplay between immersion and appeal in video games
A 2í 2 study on immersion and appeal of video games is presented.Immersion and appeal are found to be highly related.Immersion is found to be unaffected by playing experience.Appeal is found to be affected both by game played and playing experience. ...
Interoperability results for Semantic Web technologies using OWL as the interchange language
Using Semantic Web technologies in complex scenarios requires that such technologies correctly interoperate by interchanging ontologies using the RDF(S) and OWL languages. This interoperability is not straightforward because of the high heterogeneity in ...
