In order to support knowledge workers throughout their task of searching, locating and manipulating information, a system that provides information suitable for a particular user's needs, and that is able to facilitate the sharing and reuse of knowledge is essential. This paper presents Adaptive Personal Information Environment (a-PIE); a service-oriented framework using Open Hypermedia and Semantic Web technologies to provide an adaptive Web-based system. a-PIE models the information structures (data and links), context and behaviour as Fundamental Open Hypermedia Model (FOHM) structures which are manipulated by using the Auld Linky contextual link service. a-PIE provides an information environment that enables users to search an information space based on ontologically defined domain concepts. The users can add and manipulate (delete, comment, etc.) information of interests or part of an information structure in their information space, leaving the original published data or information structures unchanged. The a-PIE environment facilitates the shareability and reusability of knowledge according to users' requirements.

Abstract. There are shortcomings in using the Web to publish information which are information overload and lost in hyperspace. The aim of the research is investigating how the Semantic web, open hypermedia, and adaptive hypermedia can enhance the adaptation, interoperability and sharing of knowledge components of various hypermedia systems, especially in the medical discipline. It also investigates how to create and manage adaptive web services by using ontologies and semantic properties for adaptation. The adaptive link services for the semantic web is proposed.

In order to support knowledge workers during their tasks of searching, locating and manipulating information, a system that provides information suitable for a particular user's needs, and that is also able to facilitate annotation, sharing and reuse information is essential. This paper presents Adaptable Personal Information Environment (a-PIE); a service-oriented framework using Open Hypermedia and Semantic Web technologies to provide an adaptable web-based system. a-PIE models the information structures (data and links) and context as Fundamental Open Hypermedia Model (FOHM) structures which are manipulated by using the Auld Linky contextual link service. a-PIE provides an information environment that enables users to search an information space based on ontologically defined domain concepts. The users can add and annotate interesting data or parts of information structures into their information space, leaving the original published data or information structures unchanged. a-PIE facilitates the shareability and reusability of knowledge according to users' requirements.
