Un modelo de recomendación de protocolos experimentales basado en el contexto de uso del usuario.

In this article we propose a model of recommendation of experimental protocols based on the user's context of use. As a case study, 107 experiments related to 5 experimental protocols of the soil mechanics laboratory tests of the Civil Engineering in the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards are analyzed. Starting from the formal specification of the experimental protocol, a representation model is proposed. This model allows to describe the entities that converge in this scientific product, contributing to the formalization of the experimental protocol in a domain of knowledge that has been little explored from this perspective. With the previous result, a recommendation model is presented. This model takes advantage of the concept of the context of use to highlight within the experimental protocol, the entities that characterize the context in which a user performs a new experiment, reproduces, repeats or audits previously performed experiments. This also contributes to considering the recommendation of this type of products that is not yet visible in the repositories of experimental protocols explored in this research. With two previous models, a software prototype is built and using test cases, the representation model and the recommendation model are validated with satisfactory results in a content-based strategy to achieve a recommendation to the user.
