Access Control Framework for Social Network System using Ontology

Abstract

In recent years, we have seen unprecedented growth in the area of Online Social Networking (OSN) that is still keeping on day by day. Social networking websites such as Facebook, Google+, and Twitter are using widely by people to share personal and public information with friends, coworkers, colleagues, family and even with strangers .Facebook, one of the most popular social network sites, has million of active users and billions of pieces of content or data that use daily like web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc. shared each month. To protect such kind for huge or big data or information need more secured and flexible access control model. There are so many access control policies are available for controlling online social network, but all social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter has their own access control mechanism that is not standard and still not more secured or flexible. To protect such kind of publically oriented user data need more dynamic access control model. In order to protect OSN, in this paper an innovative or dynamic access control framework for social networking systems using semantic web ontology has been proposed which addresses the protection of semantic-rich information in a knowledge base ontology

Towards a unified semantic model for online social networks analysis and interoperability

“…studied a method based on social network ontology to annotate nodes and edges [17]. Others proposed their proper ontologies; we cite for example the SNO (Social Network Ontology) [34], the SNS (Social Network Sites) Ontology [29] and the TPO (Tours Plan Ontology) limited to tourism social medias [35]. These models are suited to analysis of some kind of OSN and for some cases but not to ensure their interoperability.…”

“…They are used to manage and protect privacy on OSN by inferring permissions [27] [28] [29], and to predict trust propagation [31].…”

A new ontology‐based multi agent framework for intrusion detection

“…The main advantage of this article was that it reduced the communication load with the help of hierarchical topology. Kumar and Kumar suggested a new multiagent‐based access control framework for social networking system. The proposed unique control framework for social networking system was based on ontology.…”
