Abstract

Content selection is a key factor of any successful document generation system. This paper shows how a content selection algorithm has been implemented using an efficient combination of XML/XSL technology and the framework of RST for discourse modeling. The system generates multilingual documents adapted to user profiles in a learning environment for the web. This CourseViewGenerator applies simplified RST schemes to the elaboration of a master document in XML from which content segments are chosen to suit the user's needs. The personalisation of the document is achieved through the application of a sequence of filtering levels of text selection based on the user aspects given as input. These cascading filters are implemented in XSL.
