Abstract

Large scale online social networks (OSNs) such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, have become an important part of our every day life. Users are connected to multiple OSNs in which they maintain their different profiles including a lot of personal and social information. The number of friends of a given user may grow so rapidly that it becomes impossible to manage all updates from friends’ profiles and to filter relevant new information. We present a FOAF-based profiles aggregation model, which is able to align different user profiles available on different OSNs into aggregated profiles within a single triple store. The aggregated profiles are then linked together by friend connection. We illustrate the applicability by the presentation of some applications which can provide users with some effective help for information searching.
