Information-seeking on the Web with Trusted Social Networks
- Share to:
This research investigates how synergies between the Web and social networks can
enhance the process of obtaining relevant and trustworthy information. A review of
literature on personalised search, social search, recommender systems, social networks
and trust propagation reveals limitations of existing technology in areas such as
relevance, collaboration, task-adaptivity and trust.
In response to these limitations I present a Web-based approach to information-seeking
using social networks. This approach takes a source-centric perspective on the
information-seeking process, aiming to identify trustworthy sources of relevant
information from within the user's social network.
