Modelamiento del perfil de un usuario usando tecnologías semánticas

Abstract

The processes and activities carried out for the modeling of a digital television user profile which apply semantic technologies and external resources, are presented in this research to enrich this information. The structure of this research is divided in six chapters. The definition, scope, and goals of the project are contained in the first chapter. Subsequently, the technological context, on which the project is based, is detailed in the second chapter. This chapter involves the theoretical and conceptual framework of the topics to be dealt in the development of the thesis. Among these topics are User profiles and their modeling, Social networks, Ontologies, and Methodologies for their creation. Then, in the third chapter, the Ontology creation methodology called NeOn, which was selected within the technological context, is detailed step-by-step. Later, the method used to the collection of user profiles data from Social Networks, the data collection form, and the digital television events as external sources are specified in the chapter four. The next chapter, the chapter five, details the entire procedure followed to the prototype construction of the collection of user profiles data through semantic technologies. The configuration repository topics, the definition of the application architecture and the analytical process, design, implementation, and testing of a definitive prototype, on which will be presented the results achieved in the project, are addressed both in previous analysis as in prototype construction. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are presented in the chapter six. Furthermore, in this chapter, future works within the same guideline of user profiles and semantic technologies are outlined.
