1. An apparatus for user profile processing, comprising:
- local profile data store processing logic for accessing a profile data store;
agent interface processing logic for coupling with one or more service requesters; and
access manager processing logic coupled to said local profile data store processing logic and to said agent interface processing logic to receive a profile service request via said agent interface processing logic and to exercise said local profile data store processing logic to access a profile data store in correspondence with said received profile service request wherein said access operation accesses concept identifier information of said profile data store, said concept identifier information referencable to a semantic database.

Abstract
System, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for the improved use and maintenance of electronic user profiles. Profile entries reflect personal user information comprising a user action and associated circumstance (result) of that action. Action and circumstance information in the profile preferably includes a semantic reference value that improves usability of profile information across various devices, applications, data services, and the like.
