Abstract :
The present paper exposes a two layer user model (competences and interests) expressed through ontological constructs. As well, the paper illustrates a rule-based solution for developing the user profile in the context of the e-learning systems. The user model was conceived in the view of providing the users of an e-learning system with personalized functionalities, especially with recommendations on potential collaborators.
