Towards a new approach for generating user profile from folksonomies

The exploitation of social networks and collaborative systems is a phenomenon that is gradually integrated with the practice of information retrieval on the Internet. These systems of Web 2.0, allowing users to collaborate via the free content indexing using keywords or tags; creating structures represented as tripartite hypergraphs of users, tags and resources, called folksonomies. By examining different personalization techniques based on folksonomies, we focused on the community aspect of collaborative systems. We propose to build, through different techniques of social network analysis, user profiles more representative of their various interets. A new approach for generating user profile from foklsonomies is presented.
