Abstract. Internet offers a number of various services that to maximise the user experience apply different personalisation techniques. An important resource of every personalisation method is a user profile. The more information on the user is available in such profile, the better. Therefore, together with maturing of these mechanisms, the notion of identity emerged. The identity exceeds the user profile with information that is more detailed or enables benefiting from additional functionalities. The information stored within an identity needs to be understandable for different services to be easily reused. This can be achieved using the DBpedia. The goal of the article is to describe the design of a method that potentially enables providing data to build the user identity, based on his behaviour on the Web. The method is elaborated as well as an example of application is presented.
