The Semantic Web has evolved as a blueprint for a knowledge-based framework aimed at crossing the chasm from the current Web of unstructured information resources to a Web equipped with metadata and oriented to delegating tasks to software agents.

Semantic Web Personalization and Context Awareness: Management of Personal Identities and Social Networking communicates relevant recent research in Semantic Web-based personalization as applied to the context of information systems. This book reviews knowledge engineering for organizational applications, and Semantic Web approaches to information systems and ontology-based information systems research, as well as the diverse underlying database and knowledge representation aspects that impact personalization and customization.

Social Networking and Trust: Is Personalisation the Only Defence Technique? (pages 32-41)

Vladlena Benson

Based on the literature review of the theory of trust, this chapter aims to provide an insight into trust formation on social networking sites (SNS). An overview of the current state of cybercrime and known ways of threat mitigation...

Chapter 5

Using Quantum Agent-Based Simulation to Model Social Networks: An innovative interdisciplinary approach (pages 42-54)

C. Bisconti, A. Corallo, M. De Maggio, F. Grippa, S. Totaro

This research aims to apply models extracted from the many-body quantum mechanics to describe social dynamics. It is intended to draw macroscopic characteristics of organizational communities starting from the analysis of microscopic...

Chapter 6

An Approach to a Semantic Recommender System for Digital Libraries (pages 55-68)

José M. Morales-del-Castillo, Eduardo Peis, Enrique Herrera-Viedma

One of the key aims of the so-called Information Society is to facilitate the interconnection and communication of sparse groups of people, which can collaborate with each other by exchanging on-line information from distributed...

Chapter 7

Domain-Specific Ontologies Trading for Retrieval and Integration of Information in Web-Based Information Systems (pages 69-80)

José-Andrés Asensio, Javier Criado, Luis Iribarne, Nicolás Padilla

This chapter introduces the use of domain-specific ontologies through Web trading services as a mechanism for retrieval and integration of information between different systems or subsystems. This mechanism is based on a three-level...

Chapter 8

Technology Engineering for NPD Acceleration: Evidences from the Product Design (pages 81-93)

Nouha Taifi, Eliana Campi, Valerio Cisternino, Antonio Zilli, Angelo Corallo, Giuseppina Passiante

Chapter 10

Refactoring and its Application to Ontologies (pages 107-136)

Jordi Conesa, Antoni Olive, Santi Caballé

Over the last years, a great deal of ontologies of many different kinds and describing different domains has been created, and new methods and prototypes have been developed to search them easily. These ontologies may be reused for...

Chapter 11

Evolution in Ontology-Based User Modeling (pages 137-150)

Jairo Francisco de Souza, Sean W.M. Siqueira, Rubens N. Melo

Web-ontologies are becoming the de facto standard for WWW-based knowledge representation. As a consequence, user modeling has been associated to Web-ontologies. However, data schemes evolve, and therefore ontologies also evolve....

Chapter 12

Collaborative Filtering: Inference from Interactive Web (pages 151-163)

Tania Al. Kerkiri, Dimitris Konetas
