User preferences in the web of data

This article introduces a domain-and application-independent language for representing preferences as part of user profiles. It also describes the translation of statements of this language to RDF datasets using a new ontology named Framework for Ratings and Preferences FRAP. The availability of this language and its RDF representation enable the effective exchange of user preferences across different applications in the web environment. The practical usage and limitations of this approach are also discussed in the article.
