abstract = {The availability of increasing amounts of information on
the World Wide Web generates problems of information
overload, that lead to increasing efforts for information
retrieval on the one hand and increasing portions of
irrelevant information on the other. Research efforts
address these problems. However, there is still a lack of
common understanding of information brokering processes,
tasks, and roles. Additionally, existing systems do not
account for the meaning of context for information needs:
while the importance of context for information needs is
agreed on in the literature, a common framework for
understanding, organising, and using contextual knowledge
explicitly within information brokering processes is still
missing. The central question underlying this work is the
following: when we know about the context in which a person
is currently situated and we know the context in or for
which available information has been produced, how can we
then use this knowledge to improve the individual's access
to information? To address this question, this work performs
a comprehensive analysis of information brokering processes
in various domains and develops information brokering
process, role, and task models of general applicability.
Furthermore, the role context plays within these processes
is analysed and a framework of contextualisation goals and
appropriate contextualisation techniques is developed.
Finally, a general context modelling framework is developed
based on the definition of context modelling requirements.
This context modelling framework provides guidelines for the
explicit representation, assessment, and retrieval of
contextual information in order to enhance information
brokering processes with contextual information. The models
proposed in this work are evaluated through the development
of several information brokering environments and their
application in different information brokering domains.},
