Personalized Access to Web Services in the Semantic Web

We propose a Semantic Web browser which enables users to discover, select and personalize Web services in the Semantic Web. We discuss how such a Semantic Web browser can offer domain specific visualization, and investigate solutions for supporting individual users in finding appropriate Web services, in tailoring Web services to their needs, and in accessing and administering their favorite Web services. As a proof-of-concept, we show the realization of a Semantic Web browser, the personal podcast syndication service MyEar, which collects and filters data from various providers of podcast feeds. keywords: semantic web, semantic web browser, personalization, web services
