Supporting information access in next generation digital library architectures

2005 , Frommholz, I. , Knezevic, P. , Mehta, B. , Niederée, C. , Risse, T. , Thiel, U.

Current developments on Service-oriented Architectures, Peer-to-Peer and Grid computing promise more open and flexible architectures for digital libraries. They will open the Digital Library (DL) technology to a wider clientele, allow faster adaptability and enable the usage of federative models on content and service provision. These technologies raise new challenges for the realization of DL functionalities, which are rooted in the increased heterogeneity of content, services and metadata, in the higher degree of distribution and dynamics, as well as in the omission of a central control instance. This paper discusses these opportunities and challenges for three central types of DL functionality revolving around information access: metadata management, retrieval functionality, and personalization services.

The role of context for information mediation in digital libraries

2004 , Neuhold, E.J. , Niederée, C. , Stewart, A. , Frommholz, I. , Mehta, B.

Mediating between available information objects and individual information needs is a central issue within the functionality of a digital library. In the simplest case this is an information request answered by a search engine based on an analysis of information objects within the digital library's information collection. However, neither the information access activity nor the information objects within the collection are isolated entities. They are both equipped with a multifaceted context. The invited talk, which is summarized by this paper, analyzes this context and discusses complementing approaches to make such context explicit and to use it for refining the mediation process within digital libraries.

Ontologically-enriched unified user modeling for cross-system personalization

2005 , Mehta, B. , Niederée, C. , Stewart, A. , Degemmis, M. , Lops, P. , Semeraro, G.

Personalization today has wide spread use on many Web sites. Systems and applications store preferences and information about users in order to provide personalized access. However, these systems store user profiles in proprietary formats. Although some of these systems store similar information about the user., exchange or reuse of information is not possible and information is duplicated. Additionally, since user profiles tend to be deeply buried inside such systems, users have little control over them. This paper proposes the use of a common ontology-based user context model as a basis for the exchange of user profiles between multiple systems and, thus, as a foundation for cross-system personalization.

Exploiting lexical knowledge in learning user profiles for intelligent information access to digital collections

2005 , Semeraro, G. , Lops, P. , Degemmis, M. , Niederée, C. , Stewart, A.

Algorithms designed to support users in retrieving relevant information base their relevance computations on user profiles, in which representations of the users interests are maintained. This paper focuses on the use of supervised machine learning techniques to induce user profiles for Intelligent Information Access. The access must be personalized by profiles allowing users to retrieve information on the basis of conceptual content. To address this issue, we propose a method to learn sense-based user profiles based on WordNet, a lexical database.
