MyProfile intends to provide a solution for managing the numerous accounts and profiles that users have on the Internet. Its main purpose is to provide a unified user account, or simply ‘user profile’, which as opposed to current ‘silo’ profiles, would really be under the user’s control, on a device controlled by the user.

Benefits of using MyProfile

The Web we know is based on centralized resources, the so called ‘silo’ approach. Here are the advantages that you can get from switching to a user-centric profile system.

  • DATA CONTROL

    It's your data and only you should control it. The data are hosted on a device controlled only by you (it could be your home computer or a plug computer).

  • PRIVACY

    You decide who should have access and to which resources. Access Control Lists ontologies will be used to define how access is granted or denied.

  • WebID

    Authenticate to services using WebID. No more usernames and passwords to remember! WebID provides high security using cryptographic certificates.

  • LINKED DATA

    Take advantage of the full potential of Linked Data. Your profile is accessible as an RDF file, allowing you full access to the Semantic Web.
