Abstract. In this paper we present the so-called Grapple User Modeling Framework (GUMF) which provides user modeling functionality via the Web to applications that would like to offer personalization and adaptation features to their customers. GUMF introduces the notion dataspaces which create a logical view on (possibly distributed) user data and provide advanced contextualization and reasoning mechanisms. We showcase the Mypes service that exploits GUMF dataspaces to connect, aggregate, align and enrich user profile information form the Social Web. 1
