Examples of user models represented by ontologies<br />

GUMO. General User Model Ontology (GUMO) [29] is an effort to build commonly accepted<br />

user model ontology. GUMO ontology is developed within Ubiquitous User Modeling 3<br />

project, which had a significant impact on ontology design. Authors were focused on building<br />

relatively broad taxonomy of classes representing concepts of actual user’s context (e.g.,<br />

actual movement, emotional state). Model provides classes for capturing static user characteristics<br />

(name etc.) and characteristics such as interests or goals.<br />

However, ontology does not prescribe properties of individual classes nor relations<br />

between them. Authors did not employ any conditions and restrictions provided by OWL<br />

language. GUMO has a potential to become a top-level (upper) ontology in the field of user<br />

modeling, serving as a point of term unification. Individual specialized ontologies could<br />

define mapping of their own classes to classes of GUMO ontology.<br />

User model in NAZOU project. Several tools responsible for acquisition, organisation and<br />

presentation of knowledge from heterogeneous sources (e.g., the Web) are developed within<br />

NAZOU project 4 . Its presentation layer is based on ontological representation of domain<br />

data (job offers) as well as user model.<br />

The model is divided into two parts: domain independent and domain specific. Each<br />

part defines various types of user characteristics, which contain respectively either generic<br />

information about a user or information related to domain content (interests on properties,<br />

values of various attributes of job offer). Each characteristic has a timestamp, holds a number of<br />
