| Using Spreading Activation through Ontologies to Support Personal Information Management (2009) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Recent research in the domain of Personal Information Management has recognized the need for a paradigm shift towards a more activity-oriented system. Ontologies, as semantic networks with a structure not dissimilar to the one used by the human brain for storing long-term knowledge, may be very useful as the basis of such a system. This work proposes the use of spreading activation over ontologies in order to provide to a task-based system and its associated tools with methods to record semantics related to documents and tasks and to support user context inference. Author Keywords Personal ontology, spreading activation, context inference. | |||||||||||||||
