| | 1 | = About = |
| | 2 | [wiki:WikiStart Skipforward] is a distributed recommendation system using a lightweight ontology approach for formalizing opinions about item features. |
| | 3 | For the Interzone use case, items are stories printed in the Interzone magazine, and their features are genre information, reviews, and a selection of tropes extracted from TV Tropes (see [wiki:DBTropes DBTropes] for more information). |
| | 4 | Every user of the system is free to add new items and statements about existing items to the system. |
| | 5 | Naturally, opinions may differ between users. |
| | 6 | Skipforward correlates statements of different users and bases its recommendations on that. |
