Recommender Service l Functionality » Users get recommendations about documents in archives that might be relevant » Users get information about other users and communities of potential interest » User can rate documents » Users can view and query rates of documents » Users can send recommendations to other users » Users get recommendations about other users who might also be interested

Recommender Service (cont’d) l Hybrid space » Neighbourhoods = communities of interest » Social

Recommender Service (cont’d) l Hybrid space » Neighbourhoods = communities of interest » Social space model based on similarity of users’ rating patterns (analysis of user behaviour) » Content space model based on similarity of users’ content-based profiles (analysis of user profiles)

Recommender Service— Components l Community building component » Compares interests among single users and between single users and communities » Provides information about matches l Rating component » Provides interface for rating documents » Provides interface for reading and querying ratings » Administrates ratings and controls access l Recommender component » Generates and presents recommendations according to the users’ behaviour and interest profile » Administrates user preferences as to the contents and the schedule of recommendations

Collaborative Work Service l Functionality » Users can annotate and rate documents » Users

Collaborative Work Service l Functionality » Users can annotate and rate documents » Users can share documents and meta-data in a community of interest—that is, add/remove documents and meta-data, grant/revoke access, etc. » Users are notified about changes in shared documents and meta-data » Users can specify preferences for notification (e. g. , which documents, schedule) » Users are made aware of other users who are online at the same time and can have spontaneous conversations » Users can develop a community-specific terminology » Users get automatic cross-references for content-based navigation
