Architecture of the SELECT system

The XML Translator allows various operations on the SELECT data base do be made from remote agents. The protocol used, HTTP/XML, is a special protocol for access to ratings system developed by the project.

The NLP Agent adds natural language information (style, keywords, etc.) as rating data in the SELECT data base.

The Proxy Client allows a user to manually specify ratings, but also observs user behaviour and derives ratings from this.

 

There is also an alternative interface in HTML format to an ordinary WWW browser.

The Social Filtering Agents will filter messages according to peer with similar competence and values as the user of the filter.

The KOM server will provide filtering of news articles through WWW browser user interface. A separate interface to a modified NNTP server will provide filter to ordinary newsreader users.
