The document discusses enabling personal agency on the Internet of Things through connecting individuals' social graphs to physical graphs using ontologies. It proposes using SSN, O&M, FOAT, and FOAF ontologies to connect things to things, people to things, and people to people. The Personal Object concept provides a locus of control through which individuals can define identity and granularly control access to their resources through semantic links in the graphs.

1. Personal Agency on the IoT
● SSN, O&M, and IoT ontologies will connect
things to things and define situations and
context
● FOAT ontology
will connect
people to things
● Concepts to
enable individual
authority through
graph based
identity and
granular resource
access control

2. Personal Object: Personal Agency
on the IoT
● Resource access control based on connecting
the social graph to the physical graph
● The Friend Of A Friend ontology (FOAF)
connects people to people with concepts
describing interpersonal relationships
● Personal Object is a locus of control based on
user identity, which is derived from user's
verifiable social and physical graph connections
● Users control access to to their resources
through semantic links

3. Open Source Platform
for the
Internet of Things
● Smart Object API
● Universal Gateways
● Personal Object
● Personal Cloud
