We propose a novel approach to personal ontologies, grounded on the concept of affordance and on the ontological theory of Von Uexküll, in which each concept can be viewed under different perspectives depending on the subjectivity of the user and thus can yield tailored semantic relationships or properties. We suggest a cognitive middle-layer interface between the user and the ontology, which is able on the run to modify and adapt the ontology to the user needs. The goal is to obtain an adapted version of the ontology that is tailored both to the context and to the user prospective and expertise, without the need of explicitly maintaining a high number of ontologies. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract
We propose a novel approach to personal ontologies, grounded on the concept of affordance and on the ontological theory of Von Uexküll, in which each concept can be viewed under different perspectives depending on the subjectivity of the user and thus can yield tailored semantic relationships or properties. We suggest a cognitive middle-layer interface between the user and the ontology, which is able on the run to modify and adapt the ontology to the user needs. The goal is to obtain an adapted version of the ontology that is tailored both to the context and to the user prospective and expertise, without the need of explicitly maintaining a high number of ontologies. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
