Gumo – The General User Model Ontology

Personalization in cultural heritage: the road travelled and the one ahead

“…A common standard of infrastructure, data structure and user model modules would ease the implementation and evaluation of novel ideas and allow researchers to focus on specific research questions while evaluating them in a common environment. As for architecture, user models should be separated from the applications, thus enabling external, standard user modeling components to use and re-use personal data (Kobsa, 2001) or using standard ontologies such as GUMO (Heckmann et al, 2005) and communicating in standard protocols such as UserML (Heckmann and Krüger, 2003). Moreover, standard architectures (such as the multi-agents architecture suggested in PEACH) may allow cultural heritage application developers to focus on developing their specific application while re-using existing infrastructure.…”

Personalization for the Semantic Web

“…Furthermore, the user modeling component allows for advanced querying of such UserRDF statements via a corresponding lightweight query language, which is called UserQL. Figure 6 lists the properties of an UserRDF statement, which is defined in the User Modeling Ontology (see Statement class within Figure 7), an ontology which is modeled on the General User Modeling Ontology (GUMO) [Heckmann et al, 2005]. The properties can be grouped into the following five different blocks.…”

The User Model, Vocabulary and Logical Architecture for Adaptive Augmented Reality

“…In this ontology the information is modelled in terms of user model dimensions. A user model dimension is divided into three parts: Auxiliary, Predicate and range [7], e.g the user's low interest in football would be represented by the Auxiliary "has interest", the Predicate "football" and the Range "low" [6]. After its creation, this ontology was included into the UbisWord Ontology (see below).…”
