Abstract

The Personal Reader framework implements a service-based architecture for developing and maintaining personalization functionalities on the Semantic Web, stemming from disciplines like e.g. adaptive hypermedia systems or collaborative filtering systems. A modular framework of components / services - for providing the user interface, for mediating between user requests and available personalization services, for user modeling, for providing personal recommendations and context information, et cetera, is the core of the Personal Reader framework. When a user is viewing some Web Content (the "Reader" part of the Personal Reader) s/he receives additional, personal information on the context of this particular Web content (the "Personal" part of the Personal Reader). Personal Readers have been developed for the area of e-Learning (Java, Semantic Web), and for browsing scientific publications.
