IADIS International Conference WWW/Internet 20104. CONCLUSIONWe argue that nowadays, end users should be supported in the exploration of the problem space they arefacing by web spaces addressing each end user’s profile. The paper considers as part of end user’s profilehis/her culture, his/her role in a domain and the platform s/he is using in interacting with the web space. Wedescribe an abstraction model for designing web interactive systems, seen as web spaces and which can belocalized to the end user’s profiles, allowing him/her to interact with the system using systems of signsfamiliar to him/her. The paper also describes the method to be used in applying the model together with aconcrete example of the model applied.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTThe authors would like to thank Piero Mussio for the useful and insightful discussions.
