Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for implementing ontological domain services is provided. The method includes creating an ontological domain using information elements accrued from sources and in response to detectable behaviors of an individual or entity over time. The method also includes analyzing the ontological domain to anticipate an interest.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method for implementing ontological domain services, comprising:
- establishing a trusted relationship with sources of information via secure channels of communication;
- gathering information elements relating to an individual from the sources of information via the secure channels;
- creating an ontological domain that is specific to the individual using the information elements accrued from the sources, the information elements acquired from detectable behaviors of the individual over time, the ontological domain automatically generated from the detectable behaviors and absent any intervention by the individual;
- and
- determining an interest that is specific to the individual based upon relevancy analyses performed with respect to the information elements;
- wherein the sources of information include a global positioning system and the detectable behaviors include a physical presence of the individual at a location, as determined by the global positioning system;
- and
- dynamically updating the ontological domain in response to newly-detected behaviors conducted by the individual.
A system for implementing ontological domain services, comprising:
- a host system;
- and
- an ontological domain application executing on the host system, the ontological domain application implementing:
- establishing a trusted relationship with sources of information via secure channels of communication;
- gathering information elements relating to an individual from the sources of information via the secure channels;
- creating an ontological domain using information elements accrued from the sources, the information elements acquired from and in response to detectable behaviors of the individual or entity over time, the detectable behaviors including:
- an activity conducted at a physical location;
- and
- a presence of the individual at a function or event at a physical location;
- wherein the activity conducted at the physical location and the presence at a function are determined by information elements derived from a combination of the sources;
- and
- determining an interest based upon relevancy analyses performed with respect to the information elements.
A computer program product for implementing ontological domain services, the computer program product including instructions for causing a computer to implement a method, the method comprising:
- establishing a trusted relationship with sources of information via secure channels of communication;
- gathering information elements relating to an individual from the sources of information via the secure channels;
- creating an ontological domain that is specific to the individual using information elements accrued from the sources, the information elements acquired from detectable behaviors of the individual over time, the ontological domain automatically generated from the detectable behaviors and absent any request by the individual;
- and
- determining an interest that is specific to the individual based upon relevancy analyses performed with respect to the information elements;
- wherein the sources of information include a global positioning system and the detectable behaviors include a physical presence of the individual at a location, as determined by the global positioning system.
