Design and implementation of Personalised Information Retrieval using User Profile and Ontology

In present scenario, with the unprecedented development of electronics and tremendous growth of the Internet, World Wide Web (WWW) has become common and popular source of information for varied category of users. Web search engines provide interface between users and web to extract the desired information from WWW. The user possess query to search engine and in response the search engine return useful information. It is observed that typical search engines return the same result for the query submitted by different users irrespective of specific user need. Generally, each user has specific information requirement. It is always desirable that search result should satisfy the exact user requirement. We have proposed approaches to make the search adapting to satisfy the user need. The approaches discussed here are based on ontology and dynamic user profile.
