Abstract
Personalisation and adaptation of information and information presentation to reflect user needs and interests is an area in which there is considerable interest. DIP, Dynamic Information Presentation, is a research project that focuses on problems in this area. As part of this research a review has been conducted of existing Web-based information applications from a variety of domains that use such techniques, and a set of dimensions proposed as a basis for analysing andcomparing them. The applications fall naturally into three categories. The results provide a useful step towards a general framework for classifying these approaches.
