Abstract
User modeling is crucial aspect of personalized document retrieval systems. In this paper we propose to use ontology-based user profile while ontological structures are appropriate to represent dependencies between concepts in user profile. A method for clustering set of users is proposed. As a similarity measure between ontological profiles we present a novel approach using ontology alignment methods. To avoid “cold-start problem” we developed method for profile recommendation for a new user.
