Title: DIFFERENT FACETS OF IDENTITY |
 |
Different Facets of Identity
First of all, from these two case studies (cs1 and cs2) it is possible to illustrate the three types of Identity information:
Offline identity
Related to the appearance: fingerprint (cs1)
Identity tokens: RFID card (cs1), credit card (cs2), BAN (cs1, the Bank Account Number is known by the bar through a contract between the bar and the customer for the use of fingerprint mode payment)
Digital identity
Related to the appearance: fingerprint template (cs1)
Social information: Identifier of the personal electronic device (cs1&cs2)
Identity Information to bridge offline and digital Identities
Knowledge-based Identification: password or PIN of the personal electronic device (cs1&cs2, not explicitly described in the scenario but essential to switch on some devices)
Related to the user context: profile, user preferences (cs1&cs2)
The following sub-sections detail the analysis of the case studies, and more precisely form an ontological analysis. By scanning the text of each case study and detecting the terms related to Identity, directly or otherwise. Then, each of these terms is described by its corresponding ontological representation from the ontology of the identity.
Case Study 1 analysis
Entry into the bar: He declares his preferences and activates his availability to meet a friend
At the bar: Barman: do you want a cappuccino? The adaptive screen shows him the soft drinks.
Thanks to his electronic device he “watches TV in the language of his choice”.
Chance encounter: An alarm notifies him a friend has arrived.
After a nice conversation with his friend, he decides to leave.
Payment: He chooses whether to pay with fingerprint mode or with RFID card from local account.
Each underlined term is related to the identity concept. From the identity ontology (described in the D2.1), these terms are described as follows:
Term | Ontological representation | Observation |
Preference(s) | Profile representation à individual profile à preferences | Other possibility: Identifier / bridge offline and digital identities / related to the user context |
Friend | Profile representation à individual profile àsociological profile à personal network ( friend) |
|
Electronic device | Identifier à electronic device (à id PDA) | Other possibility: Identifier/digital identity / social information / ID electronic device |
Fingerprint | Identifier à biometrics à fingerprint | Other possibility: Identifier / digital identity / related to the appearance / biometric template |
RFID card | Identifier à electronic device à id card / RFID | Other possibility: Identifier / offline identity / token |
Implicit Term | Ontological representation | Observation |
BAN (of the customer for the fingerprint mode payment) | Profile representation à individual profile àfinancial information à banking information | Other possibility: Identifier / offline identity / token |
Password, PIN (of used electronic devices) | Identifier à digital identifier à password | Other possibility: Identifier / bridge offline and digital identities / knowledge-based identification /PIN, password |
(dash style) term | Possible ontological representation | Observation |
Interaction: declares, activates, or notifies him | Identity / device communication / access | The declaration (declares) may be active (the user acts, e.g. pushes a button, sends information) or passive (the bar device detects the customer) |
Fingerprint mode | 1) Identity / data protection 2) Identity / storage / biometrics template | Indeed, the fingerprint mode payment raises two important concepts related to the identity the data protection and the storage of the fingerprint template. |
Case Study 2 analysis
The following analysis of the case study 2 only focuses on the additional information related to Identity.
Entry into the bar: He declares his preferences. A temporary account is opened.
At the bar: The adaptive screen automatically provides him the menu in his own language.
After he has a drink and makes a local hotel reservation through the WI-FI connection, he becomes relaxed and activates his availability to meet a person, putting his profile at disposal.
Chance encounter: An alarm notifies him two answers (of course, from two people in the bar). He accepts one.
Payment: His temporary account indicates the amount to be paid in both currencies with the conversion rate. And he pays by credit card.
(dash style) term | Possible ontological representation | Observation |
Profile | Profile representation à individual profile à sociological profile /anonymous | The user decided to disclose in the AmI space of the bar only some information in an anonymous way.
Other possibility: Identifier / bridge offline and digital identities / related to the user context / anonymous |
Interaction: declares, activates, or notifies him | 1) Identity / device communication / access 2) Identity / device communication / interoperability / standards | This story takes place at a foreign country. So, the interoperability concern arises. |
Here, the scenario approach and especially the cases studies play the role of a validation tool; indeed, thanks to the stories we can verify the usefulness of ontological representations (case of the underlined term in solid style) and detect some gaps (case of the underlined term in dash style) or new requirements, so we can extend or modify the ontology in an effective way.
