1. Introduction

This ontology describes the users with three main concepts. Personal information, interest and ability. Interest and Ability are clutered in InterestType and AbilityType respectibly. The figure below depicts the workflow with the combination of both ontologies and the inclusion of the Complex Event Service ontology as they are combined within the EU FP7 project CityPulse.
