>To help people cope with information overload, filters can
>automatically select a small set of messages from a large stream. The
>concept of brokering generalizes the notion of information filtering
>in several useful ways. First, it emphasizes that the routing of
>information messages is a joint activity of the sender and the
>receiver. Second, it suggests that the computational entity that
>performs filtering operations may be a third party rather than an
>appendage of either the sender or receiver. Finally, it conjures a
>host of images about services that the broker could provide.
>
>Collaborative filtering is an especially interesting brokering service
>that is just beginning to receive researchers' attention. While
>traditional methods such as keyword matching filter messages based on
>their contents, collaborative methods filter messages based on the
>opinions of other people who have already read them. For example, one
>appealing collaborative filter selects messages endorsed by people who
>agreed with my evaluations of previous messages. I will present
>GoodNews, a distributed software system for collaborative filtering of
>Netnews. I will also discuss briefly how to compensate people for
>providing evaluations.
