Abstract:
This paper presents dissertation work on semantic-oriented architectures
and models for personalized and adaptive access to the knowledge
in a multimedia digital library. The work was presented on October 27, 2008
before the Specialized Academic Council in Informatics and Mathematical
Modelling at the Higher Attestation Commission. As a result of the work
there appeared a functional module providing customized user access to the
library content flow. The module used an IEEE PAPI and IMS LIP-oriented
ontological user model. The main services provide customized user access,
browsing, searching, and grouping of digitised objects and collections, user
profile management, tracking the user’s behaviour, etc. The services require
and trace out data about the preliminary level of the users’ knowledge in
the domain covered by the digital library, their object observation style,
cognitive goals and interests, preferences about the objects/collections
presentation and grouping, physical limitations, used knowledge delivery channels
(Web, mobile phone), etc. Then they transform the available digitised objects into
a new personalized form, and finally deliver them to the user. The
module uses special usage scenarios/instructions defining a wide range of
service actions dependent on the user’s background, events, informal learning
situations, knowledge delivery channels, etc.
