Abstract
Earlier work introduced the concept of Implicit Culture and its use in multi-agent systems. Implicit culture support can be seen as a generalization of Collaborative Filtering and it can improve agents’ performances. In this paper, we present an implementation of a System for Implicit Culture Support, results obtained in a recommendation-problem domain, and an application to the eCulture Brokering System, a multiagent system aimed to mediate the access to cultural information.
