Personalization of Semantic Web Services.
Freddy Lécué · 2010
Abstract. Nowadays web users have clearly expressed their wishes to receive and interact with personalized services directly. However, existing approaches, largely syntactic content-based, fail to provide robust, accurate and useful personalized services to its users. Towards such an issue, the semantic web provides enabling technologies to annotate and match services ’ descriptions with a users’ features, interests and preferences, thus allowing for more efficient access to services and then information. The aim of our work, part of service personalization, is on automated instantiation of services which is crucial for advanced usability i.e., how to prepare and present services ready to be executed while limiting useless interactions with users? To this end, we exploit Description Logics reasoning through semantic matching to i) identify useful parts of a user profile that satisfy services requirements (i.e., input parameters) and ii) compute the description required by a service to be executed but not provided by the profile. Finally, the scalability of our approach has been evaluated through its integration in the service consumption of the EC-funded project SOA4All.
