Abstract

User Modeling still represents a key component for a large number of personalization systems. Maintaining a model for each user, a system can successfully personalize its contents and use available resources accordingly. Ontologies, as a shared conceptualization of a particular domain, can be suitably exploited also in this area. In this paper we explain some concepts about user modeling, particularly focusing on scrutability and its importance in ontology based user modeling systems.
