【 摘 要 】

The Semantic Web as an evolution of the World Wide Web allows its users to share content over the boundaries of applications and web sites. However, current web-based systems for the controlled distribution of private information require the presence of information on centralized systems. A potential risk for the user is the central system operator which has full access to all stored information. Moreover, if a malicious user gets unauthorized access to the operator’s management rights, the information stored by all users is exposed. In this paper, we demonstrate our alternative approach of a distributed address book, where users can store their information on a system under their own control. A special focus in our implementation was on the usability, in particular for the complex rule generation and processing chain, so that any user familiar with social network software is able to formulate access policies.
