As the success of such systems often depends on the collection on personal data, privacy concerns threaten to hinder this new world from reaching its full potential. At the same time, accurately modelling the different types of contextual information proves to be of paramount importance in paving the way towards the maturity of Ambient Intelligence systems, with Semantic Web ontologies becoming a popular solution. This paper aims to explore the application of Semantic Web ontologies in modelling privacy-related information in the context of smart home environments. To this purpose, we have conducted a practical evaluation of three ontologies, in an attempt to determine their suitability within the stated domain. The paper concludes that the representation of privacy features within smart home environments is attainable through the use of ontologies; however, current models do not achieve sufficient coverage of the domain. Lastly, the paper provides insights into practical ways of enhancing future ontologies in order to reach the required capabilities. date: 2016-12-05 date_type: published publisher: CEUR Workshop Proceedings official_url: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1750/ oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1191618 lyricists_name: Bikakis, Antonios lyricists_id: ABIKA24 actors_name: Bikakis, Antonios actors_id: ABIKA24 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: Workshop on Society, Privacy and the Semantic Web - Policy and Technology (PrivOn) volume: 4 place_of_pub: Kobe, Japan event_title: 4th Workshop on Society, Privacy and the Semantic Web - Policy and Technology (PrivOn2016) co-located with 15th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2016) event_location: Kobe, Japan event_dates: 17 October 2016 - 18 November 2016 institution: 4th International Workshop on Society, Privacy and the Semantic Web - Policy and Technology @ ISWC2016 book_title: Proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Society, Privacy and the Semantic Web - Policy and Technology (PrivOn2016) co-located with 15th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2016) editors_name: Brewster, C editors_name: Cheatham, M editors_name: D'Aquin, M editors_name: Decker, S editors_name: Kirrane, S citation: Iacob, S; Bikakis, A; (2016) Evaluation of Semantic Web Ontologies for Privacy Modelling in Smart Home Environments.
