Abstract
The unified content environment encountered in the TV home environment is made up of three basic resources: broadcast content, the Internet and the home network. The home network consists of locally stored digital content (music, libraries, family photos, documents, stored video, etc). Currently each one has its own way of letting the consumer search for specific content and its own way of presenting the results. For broadcasting this is the Electronic Program Guide (EPG), for the Internet these are search engines and directory services, and for locally stored digital content this is a PC-like file system interface. If we truly want a unified 'portal', an integration of these should be pursued, this means integrated search facilities for content and an integrated presentation of the results. In this paper we present our research into a more general approach for designing personalized information systems, and describe work in progress on a demonstrator we are building that will address the integration of search facilities and presentation.
