We present an architecture for global customization of web content, by w h i c h a w eb site can customize content for each visitor based on the activities undertaken by the same user on other, unrelated sites. Our architecture distinguishes itself in the privacy mechanisms it provides: each u s e r c o n trols what information a merchant can learn about her activities at other merchants, and each merchant controls to what other merchants the information it contributes is revealed. To a c hieve t h i s w e i n troduce novel data protection mechanisms for merchants and users. We further describe aspects of a prototype implementation of our architecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
