Abstract:
The most popular collaborative filtering implementations require either a critical mass of referenced resources and a lot of active
users. Other solutions are based on finding a referral with an expertise
on the given domain of discourse.
In this article we present the semantic social collaborative filtering solution to information retrieval. We describe how the concept of users¿
managed collections can be exploited to provide collaborative filtering
system based on social network maintained by the users themselves.
We present FOAFRealm, a user profile management system based on
the social networking and the FOAF metadata. FOAFRealm enables
distributed collaboration between parties in the semantic social collaborative filtering way.
