Abstract
Personal information has become one of the most valuable coins on the Internet. Companies gather a massive amount of data to create rich profiles of their users, trying to understand how they interact with the platform and what are their preferences. However, these profiles do not follow any standard and are usually incomplete in the sense that users provide different subsets of information to distinct platforms. Thus, the quality and quantity of the data vary between applications and tends to inconsistency and duplicity. In this context, the Social Linked Data (SOLID) initiative proposes an alternative to separate the user’s information from the platforms which consume it, defining a unique and autonomous source of data. Following this line, this study proposes Pushed SOLID, an architecture that integrates SOLID in the user’s smartphone to store and serve their information from a single entity controlled by the users themselves. In this study, we present an implementation of the Pushed SOLID proposal with the aim of experimentally assessing the technical viability of the solution. Satisfactory performance results have been obtained at battery consumption and response time. Furthermore, users have been interviewed about the proposal, and they find the solution attractive and reliable. This solution can improve the way data are stored on the Internet, empowering users to manage their own information and benefiting third party applications with consistent and update profiles.
Highlights
Internet applications have become an important part of our daily routines
Personal data have become a very valuable coin for Internet companies. e custom services and advertisement are a relevant issue for enterprises which find publicity as an important source of incomes
We propose Pushed Social Linked Data (SOLID), an architecture which deploys SOLID Personal Online DataStores (PODS) on user’s smartphone. us, the information is stored in the device, which serves as provider of the data to external requests. is way, the user can authorise or deny accesses to the PODS
Summary
Internet applications have become an important part of our daily routines. Every day, thousands of users interact with social networks, sharing new content, consuming posts, and communicating with others. Platforms are concerned on keeping users interested on the services they supply, so that one of the main challenges is providing the appropriate content to the right audience. The storage of personal data becomes critical for applications which benefits from fidelity to enhance the experience and competency [2] These practises are not always favourable both for users and companies. Us, users are able to control accesses and authorise or deny petitions Adopting this model provides users and companies an enriched experience based on accuracy, privacy, and control, giving response to information duplication and inconsistencies. Erefore, smartphones are suitable devices to store PODS with the user profile, keeping personal information and relevant data for applications. Last section draws some conclusions about the study
