Greet user with preferred name

The corresponding challenge is #4.

Problem

Users like to be addressed by their preferred name within apps. This is a name that they are known as, or use for themselves. In some cultures, this is the first name. It could also be a user-chosen name or nickname. Other cultures do not have the concept of a first name, so another strategy is needed.

Approved solution

We developed a Web app that shows users their preferred name based on a set of N3 rules.

User flow

Actors/actresses

• Web app
• User of the application

Preconditions

• The user has started the Web app via these instructions.
• The user has a WebID with at least one of these predicates.

Steps

1. The user opens the Web app.
2. The user logs in with their WebID.

Postconditions

• The user sees their preferred name in the Web app.

Follow-up actions

• Add a function to get a person's preferred name to SolidLabLib.js (issue).

Future work

None.
