The proliferation of personal devices and their constant awareness of our interactions have generated an enormous amount of data that can be useful to help the user obtaining relevant information when needed. Our approach uses the personal information on users' devices, together with public online sources, to provide relevant information from the user point of view. The information from the users' devices, due to its personal and credible character, works as a filter to the retrieved from other less trustable and structured sources. A preliminary evaluation, suggested that we can provide the user with inter-connected relevant information from heterogeneous sources. However, we found some limitations that led us to our current research challenges.
