User profiles play an important role in information retrieval systems. This “revelation” came from a software engineer study, but really, is it a big surprise?
Based on the study, the researchers from East China Normal University propose a new method for the acquisition of ontology-based user profiles. In the method, the ontology-based user profiles can maintain the representations of personal interest, and be automatically constructed. It is expected that this method can make user profiles stronger and require less manual interference.
This interesting news was found on Hispanic Business in their article, “New Software Engineering Study Findings Have Been Reported by Researchers at East China Normal University.”
Ontologies and other controlled vocabularies help ensure that machine-assisted or fully automated indexing is comprehensive, regardless of what you are indexing. Access Innovations is one of a very small number of companies able to help its clients generate ANSI/ISO/W3C-compliant taxonomies to make their information findable.
