The PersonasOnto is depicts the personas domain along with relating concept and properties. A persona is regarded as a user archetype which can be used to "help guide decisions about product features, navigation, interactions, and even visual design" (Goodwin, 2005). This ontology wants to address some of the issues regarding this methodology like how personas are reconciled with other information and who is responsible for interpreting and validating them. 1.5 This ontology is distributed under Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ 2014-02-28 Stefan Negru http://blankdots.com/open/schema Sabin Buraga PersonasOnto #AffectiveState The affective state of a person at a certain moment and in a certain Context. #BusinessGoals Business goals represent the goals of the organization the persons works for. #Context The Context in which a scenario takes place. #Corporation A business corporation. #CustomerType Are not the end user but the customer of the product, but might be the person making, buying decisions. #DevelopmentDisability Any disability that related to growth and development problems. #Disability A person’s disabilities mental and/or physical. #Document A paper or digital document (web-page, text document etc.). #EducationalOrganization An educational organization. #Emotion Emotion encompasses physiological, affective, behavioral, andcognitive components. #EndGoals End goals represent the user’s motivation for performing the tasks associated with using a specific product. #ExperienceGoals Experience goals are simple, universal, and personal. #Feeling Feelings relate more to a property associated to and object or being, than to a person’s state of mind. #Goals The goals of a Persona.
