Personalizing semantic information networks

This article has the intention to present a general context situating the problem of Web semantic documents, to make them comprehensible both for computers and for humans. This has become possible thanks to the development of XML as standard language to structure and exchange data. XML allows us not only to separate structure and content in documents, but also to define more precise and pertinent meta-data. We also present a description of some possibilities for creating and recovering information spaces from the Web, commonly not well structured and not entirely exploited, to have them semantically usable with the system "HyWebMap".
