A semantic Web approach for adaptive hypermedia
Résumé
Adaptation/personalization is one of the main issues for web services. Adaptive web applications have the ability to deal with different users? needs for enhancing usabil-ity and comprehension and for dealing with large repositories. Indeed, adaptive web services - also often called Adaptive Hypermedia Systems - can provide different kinds of information, different layouts and different navigation tools according to users? needs. We propose an open-ended adaptive hypermedia environment which is based on the virtual document and semantic web approaches and which is able to manage adaptive techniques at knowledge level. The aim is to simplify the creation and the management of adaptive web services by using ontologies and semantic properties for adaptation. Indeed, they are declarative parameters for computing on the fly services. Indeed, the specification of the adaptive mechanisms is defined by semantic properties associated to a hyper-media document by an author. These properties have the following roles: define how to evaluate the links/content for grouping them together in different classes according to a user model, determine how to manage these classes for each adaptive technique and assign user stereotypes to adaptive techniques. Then, an author can determine the relevant adaptive techniques for a given user group.
