Abstract
There are a large number of Web resources available on the Internet. However, only small subsets of Web resources are used to fulfill a user’s needs. Due to the heterogeneity and decentralization of Web resources, it is a time-consuming and tedious process for users to identify Web resources to fulfill their needs. For repeated activities, a user has to perform the same process over and over. To support users’ recurring online activities, we propose a framework for creating a personalized Web space to manage and orchestrate Web resources. Our framework provides helps to: 1) discover Web resources distributed in different websites despite their format; 2) provide mechanisms to allow users to share their information and resources; and 3) compose Web resources distributed in different websites. As a proof of concept, we designed and developed a prototype to demonstrate the use of our proposed framework for creating a personalized Web space.
