Abstract
Presently, there are three approaches that constitute recommender systems: collaborative filtering, content-based approach and a hybrid system. This paper proposes a complementary recommendation methodology, focusing on book recommendation. By retrieving web reviews of books using existing Web Services, an infrastructure has been developed for need-based book recommendation system. Implementation results shows that our book recommendation allows a user to eliminate irrelevant books and presents the desired books to the user from given book set. The proposed book recommender is one of the first systems in terms of focusing on meeting individuals’ needs rather than calculating similarity or preferences automatically, which is adopted by the traditional recommender system.
