Abstract
Advertising has become the most important source of income for a significant number of web-based companies. This income is usually dependent on the personal information that companies gather from their users which has led them to create very rich profiles of their users. However, these profiles do not follow any standard and are usually incomplete in the sense that users provide different subsets of information to each platform. Thus, the quality and quantity of the data varies between applications and tends to inconsistency. In this context, the SOLID initiative proposes an alternative to decentralize the user information giving them complete ownership of their information. In this demo, we propose a proof of concept in which SOLID is used to store the user information in their mobile device, following the People as a Service paradigm to provide this information as a service to third parties.
