Láhttu-A system for Retrieval and Consolidation of Personsal Data from Activity-Tracking Web Services.

Abstract

In recent years, self-tracking and recording ourself has become increasingly popular. A large ecosystem of interconnected online activity-tracking web services that record, store, analyse, and visualize personal data is evolving to provide useful services to end-users. However, these personal data can be scattered over multiple web-services, which makes it difficult for an individual to manage and maintain an overveiw of activity levels.

This thesis identifies requirements, designs, and develops a system for connectioning to a set of activity-tracking web-services. The system retreives personal data from these activity-tracking web-services for end-user, and presents and consolidates personal data stored on these web-services. The main goal for the system is to provide a homogenous, presentation and improve insight for the end-users into their own activity tracking personal data recorded at hetergoenous web-services.

The system is evaluated from a proof of concept veiw point.
