Abstract
Rule-based adaptive hypermedia systems personalize the structure of the hypermedia space using an inference mechanism that operates on a specific knowledge representation about its users. Approximate quantifiers are very frequently used in human language expressions that entail the summarization of a large number of facts. We describe how quantified expressions can be used in adaptation rules to specify common adaptation behaviors, enhancing rule’s expressive power for the human expert. Those quantified expressions can be implemented through fuzzy quantification mechanisms operating on fuzzy linguistic labels and relations, and can be integrated as extensions in general-purpose rule-based adaptive hypermedia systems.
