Abstract:
1. A method in a web portal environment comprising portal pages and portlets as portal elements, for collecting context information based on user behavior and using the collected context information within the web portal environment, comprising: automatically sensing context information during navigation of a user when the user is interacting with the portal elements; automatically storing, using a context producer component, the context information in a context storage device accessible to the context producer component, wherein the context information is organized according to a queryable ontological context model managed by a context service component, which context model stores the context information according to semantic features; and automatically interacting with the context service component, using a context consumer component, wherein the context service component distributes specific context information to the context consumer component based on coincidence of semantic identity or similarity between a stored semantic feature and a semantic feature processable by the context consumer component.
