Abstract: Smart airports involve several applications and stakeholders to facilitate passenger journey. Passengers interact with those stakeholders and share their personal information using the smart airport applications. While the use of smart airport applications offers several benefits, it also puts passengers’ personal information at risk. This draws our attention to the need for identifying and understanding privacy risks with a view to protect passenger information at smart airports. Our earlier systematic literature review study revealed a gap in modelling passenger information privacy risks in the context of smart airports. This paper aims to address this gap by developing an ontology for interaction journey and privacy risk assessment modeling. The contribution of the proposed ontology is to bring new knowledge and understanding of privacy risks in the contemporary smart airport context. The development and evaluation of the proposed framework follows the Design Science Research (DSR) method along with the ontology development techniques. The proposed ontology aims to assist privacy experts in modelling and analyzing privacy risks relevant to passenger information in the smart airport context.
