The Adaptation and Personalization Community Group intends to explore and discuss technologies towards enabling adaptive encyclopedias. With these, end-users would be able to browse and navigate vast repositories of knowledge, finding that each article they viewed was adapted and personalized to their individual settings and configurations (or to proximate user-modeling stereotypes). These settings and configurations would, as considered, include end-users' reading levels, language fluencies, and background knowledge. As envisioned, with respect to encyclopedia article authoring and editing, audience-independent inputs would be authored for software components to use to create prompts or agentic workflows for artificial-intelligence systems to use to generate audience-specific article variants. These approaches would be entirely compatible with features and functionalities for collaborative, crowdsourced article editing. Articles' editors would simply modify those ingredients which audience-specific article variants were to be generated from, perhaps while being able to view selected output article variants on-screen, in near-real-time, as they edited. ---------- This post sent on Adaptation and Personalization Community Group 'Towards Adaptive Encyclopedias' https://www.w3.org/community/adaptation/2026/04/09/towards-adaptive-encyclopedias/ Learn more about the Adaptation and Personalization Community Group: https://www.w3.org/community/adaptation
