The redocumentation process of computer mediated activity traces: A general framework
Résumé
The digital world enables the creation of personalized documents.
In this paper we are interested in describing a computer mediated
activity by a person throughout a semi-automatic redocumentation
process. This process uses traces generated automatically, during
a user-system interaction, to assist a person in producing a
personalized document describing the traced activity. To support
that, a general framework for an authoring tool is proposed
through two main phases. During the first phase, an automatic and
parameterized transformation is applied on the input activity trace
to generate a fragmented document. Each fragment describes one
or many observed elements of the modeled trace and relations
between fragments are deduced from relations between these
elements. The second phase consists in interactive transformations
on the intermediate produced document until getting the final
hypermedia document. Our authoring tool uses composition of
personalized document issues and RST principals to interpret
user's choices and to maintain the coherence of the produced
document.
