Abstract

In this paper we propose a user profile based approach forsupporting Web-oriented search. Differently from traditionalsyntax-based approaches, our method is semantic driven. Indeed, foreach user, a profile is constructed and handled for representingher/his interests. Whenever a user submits a query, a classical Websearch engine is activated for determining a (probably large) setof answer data sources. After this, the user profile is exploitedfor determining the subset of those data sources which bestconforms to user interests. In order to semantically compare thecontent of a data source with a user profile, a formal inferenceframework, provided by a specialized probabilistic variant ofDescription Logics, is exploited.
