lenge Competition 2005), which is one of the applications<br />
realized using the Personal Reader Framework developed by<br />
<strong>L3S</strong>. Other published applications, developed at <strong>L3S</strong> are a Personalized<br />
eLearning Reader for working with online eLearning<br />
material, a Recommender and Syndication system for selecting<br />
and listening to Music Streams, aka MyEar. Together with<br />
the University of Torino, <strong>L3S</strong> developed a Curriculum Planner<br />
System for the creation and validation of University Course<br />
Curriculum Sequences, using the Hannover University course<br />
database as information source. For creating metadata-rich<br />
content, the working group A3 is also dealing with the automatic<br />
extraction and aggregation of content from various<br />
sources, e.g. the crawling of plain, but structured, web-pages<br />
such as publication pages or a online course list, to create a<br />
semantically rich and sound description of the content for use<br />
with the personalized information systems.<br />
<strong>L3S</strong> also participates in the working group I2 (policy specifi cation,<br />
enforcement and integration), in which the Protune language,<br />
an advanced Semantic Web policy language, has been<br />
developed. Current achievements include the development of<br />
an engine able to perform policy-driven negotiations and the<br />
generation of natural language explanations from the result of<br />
such negotiations. Current work focuses on the formulation of<br />
policies based on natural language specifi cations, in order to<br />
help users creating and understanding policies.<br />
