Abstract

This paper presents the prototype of an adaptive faceted semantic browser - Factic. Factic implements our novel method of navigation in open information spaces represented by ontologies based on an enhanced faceted browser with support for dynamic facet generation and adaptation based on user characteristics. It is developed as part of a modular framework that supports personalization based on an automatically acquired ontological user model. We describe software tool design and implementation together with discussion on several problems mostly related to the general immaturity of current Semantic Web solutions.
