With the fast adoption of cloud computing, the use of biometric technologies has evolved to a different way of
providing security, preserving privacy, and analysing personal traits for various purposes. The main components of any
biometric system, such as biometric sensing, data gathering, feature extraction, identification, verification, recognition, and
analytics, are now handled over distributed networks. Many of the biometric system services are presented over such networks
which are followed by the creation of a new concept ‘biometric-as-a-service (BaaS)’. Recent BaaS approaches usually focus on
identifying the effective distributed architectures, policies, and use case recommendations. However, there is a strong need to
focus on developing a semantic framework which should rely on a biometric ontology. This study presents such an ontology
covering the uses of different biometric modalities, evaluation and assessment of biometric systems, modelling biometric
processes, and analyses through interlinked relations with biometric stakeholders. In order to shed light on how such an
ontology is useful for BaaS solutions, a case study focusing on the various uses of biometric modalities is presented. The
selected use case addresses the asylum seeker or immigrant identification problems regarding the border security challenges
where facial biometrics are benefited.
