PrOnto: a System of Supporting Research Work in a VRC Using a Personalized Model of Ontological Profile of the User and Group

摘要

PrOnto system supports research work of a group of users (Virtual Research Community, VRC) using a radically personalized user interface. This radical personalization relies on the assumption that research preferences of a user cannot be fully logically or even probabilistically formalized (at most 0.01percent of neurons in our brain work on logical, rational reasoning). Therefore, the interface should preserve and stress an intuitive character of the user choices, while nevertheless supporting her/his collaboration with the tools of ontological engineering. The model of PrOnto system assumes services and support to a research group of users (VCR) with functionalities serving an individual user or group collaboration.
