Using Semantic Wikis for User Information Management in E-Business

The application of semantic Wikis for user information management in e-business for purpose of Web personalization is investigated in this paper. It presents an enhanced semantic wiki, named UIMwiki, aiming to combine user annotation and artificial psychology in a semantic wiki system. Wiki users in UIMwiki are classified into three groups: end users, expert users and ontologists. There are two ways to maintain user information in UIMwiki for an end user: executing a cognitive query or adding semantic annotations. A user model based on artificial psychology can be built from the cognitive query files by a user model generator. The user model generator gives user model suggestions based on psychology knowledge. The Wiki generator and semantic annotation are also described. UIMwiki considers user´s preference information or implicit knowledge in the annotation process, and it makes the personalization more effectively too.
