1. A method comprising:
accessing, from one or more metadata models, one or more first descriptors of a first item that corresponds with a user and one or more second descriptors of a second item that corresponds with the user;
clustering the one or more first descriptors with the one or more second descriptors to form a cluster of descriptors based on at least one factor selected from the group consisting of (i) the one or more first descriptors being in a same metadata tier as the one or more second descriptors in the one or more metadata models and (ii) the one or more first descriptors matching the one or more second descriptors;
generating for the user a user profile record;
determining, based on contextual data, an activity of the user; and
based at least on a determination that a phase of the user accessing the first and second items is not anomalous, including in the user profile record an association between the cluster of descriptors and the activity of the user.
