Zusammenfassung

In this paper, we apply context specific methods to formalize communicational parameters for different profile groups in Facebook. Information is posted or shared to distinct user groups. Our context specific approach is used to describe the privacy settings of user data in a formalized way. Communicational and informational parameters of a social graph are specified in a context specific model. Relations are defined to model communicational and informational interactions as well as environmental factors taking influence on the profile groups. The textual representation is introduced to describe models in a text-based form.
