Abstract

Personalisation can have a significant impact on the way information is disseminated on the web today. Information Filtering can be a significant ingredient towards a personalised web. Collaborative Filtering is already being applied successfully for generating personalised recommendations of music tracks, books, movies and more. The same is not true for Content-Based Filtering. In this paper, we identify some possible reasons for the notable absence of a broad range of personalised information delivery and dissemination services on the web today. We advocate that a more holistic approach to user profiling is required and we discuss the series of still open, challenging research issues raised.
