Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of an ongoing research involving the design and implementation of systems supporting personalized access to multi-version resources in an eGovernment scenario. Personalization is supported by means of Semantic Web techniques and is based on an ontology-based profiling of users (citizens). Resources we consider are collections of norm documents in XML format but can also be generic Web pages and portals or eGovernment services. We introduce a reference infrastructure, describe the organization and present performance figures of a prototype system we have developed.
