User Profile Ontology for IoT

Personal information of the user, their health condition, activities carried out, profession, and information about the places frequented should all be included. In order to make user profile in the IoT meaningful, a record should be kept of the smart objects, the services they provide to the user and the interactions with the user.

Furthermore, a model distribution mechanism should be proposed so that objects, services in the IoT and other interested parties can use it. An IoT service context model focused on the user profile was therefore created, which uses ontologies to manage personal information, as well as interactions between users and the services offered by the IoT objects, in order to generate services better adjusted to the characteristics or preferences of the users.
