Large growth in e-commerce has culiminated in technology boom to
enable companies to better serve their consumers. The front-end of the
e-commerce business is to better reach the consumer which means to
better serve the information on the Web. An end-to-end solution that
provides such capabilities includes technology to enable
personalization of information, to serve the personalized information
to individual users, and to manage change both in terms of new data as
well as in terms of the evolution of personal taste of the individual
user. In this work, we present an approach that allows automated
creation and generation of diversified and customized web pages from
an object database (based on the ODMG object model), and automated
maintenance of these web pages once they have been build. The strength
of our approach is its superior re-structuring capabilities to produce
personal views as well as its generic propagation framework to
propagate schema changes, data updates, security information and so on
from the base source to the personal view and vice versa.
