Abstract

Recommendation systems have been successfully used by e-commerce and other similar sites for recommendation of relevant items to the user. However majority of these systems are based on web usage mining which does not consider the semantic knowledge underlying a website in the recommendation process and based solely on usage data. Hence researchers realized the importance of semantic knowledge and began to use it as part of usage data which is primarily used by personalization systems to enhance the quality of items being recommended. However several issues emerged during the process of integration. For effective personalization these issues need to be addressed. We discuss this aspect of integration process and also suggest some of the ways to resolve these issues and also discuss few methods of representing domain knowledge under different situations.
