Development of a Method and a Tool for Hybrid Data Based Access Framework

Abstract

Semantic web aims that web contents can be understood and processed by the other software are to be interpreted usable and sharable. Security of information in semantic web is normally provided by access control mechanism. OBAC (Ontology Based Access Control) is a model for accessing ontologies. RBAC (Role Based Access Control) is a model for accessing relational databases. In this study HAC (Hybrid Access Control) is aimed to be applied for mapping of relational database and ontology by means of both OBAC and RBAC together. Access control of roles and profiles are aimed to be managed in HR (Human Resources) domain. To achieve the identified goal a method is proposed and the tool software is developed within the scope of this study. HAC is improved as an access control by using both RBAC and OBAC. A software architecture is presented for the access of framework. Roles are managed in HR domain by using hybrid data and a solution for database management is proposed. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
