Exploiting Ontologies for better Recommendations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional recommender systems as they are mostly used in today’s recommendation applications (e.g. the SMART Recommendations Engine of Fraunhofer FOKUS) primarily concentrate on recommending items to users. However, thinking of many modern (mobile) applications, contextual and semantic information may provide a significant preciseness to the recommendation process. That’s why, Fraunhofer FOKUS’ engine has been extended by two new extensions making the engine capable of incorporating contextual and semantic information when generating recommendations. This paper focuses on one of them, the SMART Ontology Extension.

Using a Semantic Multidimensional Approach to create a Contextual Recommender System
Item recommendations calculated by recommender systems mostly in use today, only rely on item content description, user feedback and profile information. In modern mobile services, however, contextual information and semantic knowledge can play a significant role concerning the quality of these recommendations. Therefore, the SMART Recommendations Engine of Fraunhofer FOKUS is extended by the S...

Background and Aim: Ontologies facilitate data integration, exchange, searching and querying. Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry is a solution for creating reference ontologies. In this foundry, the design of ontologies is based on established principles which allow for their interactions as a single system. The purpose of this study is to determine the main features of ontologies develop...

This paper aims to carry out a review of the recent progress on geologic time ontologies, discu...
متن کاملOvercoming database heterogeneity to facilitate social networks: the Colombian displaced population as a case study
In this paper we describe a two-step approach for the publication of data about displaced people in Colombia, whose lack of homogeneity represents a major barrier for the application of adequate policies. This data is available in heterogeneous data sources, mainly relational, and is not connected to social networking sites. Our approach consists in a first step where ontologies are automatical...
