An activity in which users determine the presentation, navigation and content options of a website according to their preferences.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Internet et télématique
DEF

Activité qui consiste, pour un utilisateur, à décider des options de présentation, de navigation et de contenu d’un site Web selon ses préférences.

OBS

personnalisation; personnalisation active : Dans le domaine de l'architecture de l'information pour le Web, les spécialistes anglophones distinguent les termes anglais «customization» et «personalization» qui sont autrement souvent employés comme synonymes dans les domaines de la conception de sites Web et du commerce électronique. Pour pouvoir faire cette distinction en français, nous proposons de rendre «customization» par «personnalisation» ou «personnalisation active» et «personalization» par «individualisation», «adaptation à l'utilisateur» ou «personnalisation passive».
