Semantic Adaptation Approach for Adaptive Web-Based Systems

Abstract

The principles of the WWW used today rely solely on links and on content presented through simple HTML tags. The drawback of the above mentioned modus operandi is that it is purely syntactic with no clear emphasis on meaning about data. The Semantic Web approach tries to bridge that gap by providing additional information, mainly conceptual to the data at hand. In this paper we are focusing on extension of the adaptation methods with semantic adaptation dedicated to Adaptive Web-Based Systems. The approach is consisted of five steps based on querying RDF resources through SPARQL every time the user is visiting a particular resource. It is worth mentioning that the retrieved resources represent similar resources relevant to the currently visited resource which guides the user towards the desired information while browsing

Keywords

• Semantic adaptation, Web based system
