Ontology Visualisation

Ontology description

In an ubiquitous personal data environment, apart from personal devices, a user's personal Information is also distributed and duplicated over various online accounts, associated with social networks, customer relationship management systems and other personal services. The DAO ontology enables the representation of these services as an information source and end-point. An account is a subclass of both a pimo:Agent (to enable interaction and sharing) and also as a nie:DataSource.
