Abstract

We discuss how collaborative annotations can be exploited to simplify and improve the management of context and resources in the context-aware retrieval field. We apply this approach to our Context Aware Browser, a general purpose solution to Web content perusal by means of mobile devices, based on the user's context. Instead of relying on a pool of experts and on a rigid categorization, as it is usually done in the context-aware field, our solution allows the crowd of users to model, control and manage the contextual knowledge through collaboration and participation. We propose two models and we outline an example of application.
