Title: Personalised Interactive Access to Digital Library Content - Lessons Learned in the EEXCESS Project
Abstract: The traditional way of distributing digital library content is by providing web-based search user interfaces at the content provider and attracting visiting users.
The aim of the EEXCESS project is to upend this process by bringing the content to the users instead of users to the content.
More specifically, the content should be exactly WHAT they need, WHEN they need it, brought to the channels, WHERE they are, in a manner of HOW they like to access it.
More specifically, content is injected into frequently visited social media channels (WHERE), and presented with suitable interactive visualisations (HOW). Automatically inferred user profiles are used to personalise the content to the users needs (WHAT) and detect WHEN its presentation is desired. Privacy concerns are addressed by making user models transparent to and adaptable by users and by transferring them in a privacy-preserving manner to the content provider’s services.
This talk will give an overview of concepts, ideas and prototypes developed within the project and the lessons learned from the user evaluations.
