Delivering a Personalized Result Set by the Adaptation of Preference Queries

: Personalization includes the adaptation of database queries according to the user’s needs, wishes and situation. We examine the influence of the dparameter as powerful personalization instrument for the Preference XPath search engine. Using a heuristic approach we present a possibility to deliver not only the qualitative best matching objects but also the desired amount of data to the user. Performing a series of test queries on proper e-catalog data, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
