Abstract

Research into personalisation issues in product catalogs has mainly been focused on recommender systems and the needs for building adaptive catalogs have been largely ignored. Catalogs are designed by system designers who have a priori expectations for how catalogs will be explored by users. It is necessary to consider how users are using catalogs since they may have different expectations. WebCatalogPers proposed a design and an implementation of a system through which integrated product catalogs are continuously adapted and restructured within a dynamic environment. The adaptation of integrated catalogs is based on the observation of customers' interaction patterns. In this paper, we extend the idea further by introducing the notion of liked minded people, where the same design principle of WebCatalogPers is applied to a group of people who share similar interests.
