Egocentric Search Method for Authoring Support in Semantic Weblog

In this paper we propose egocentric search methods based on the concept of ”Information and Communicate Activities Navigation (ICAN)” and an authoring support system for Weblog (blog). ICAN regulates the human activities from a viewpoint of information and communication support. We introduce the idea of ”Collect” and ”Relate” in the ICAN table into the information retrieval and the search method which uses contents and human relationship produced by daily blogging. Our egocentric methods provide more subjective search result than the conventional engines. We apply the methods to improve the quality of the small contents made with Weblog tools.
