1. Introduction
The undifferentiated approach to mass marketing has been
recently replaced with market segmentation techniques: psy
chographic and sociodemographic analyses are exploited to
identify homogeneous market segments to which suitable
products and services must be offered [?].
At the same time, the advent of the electronic com
merce, especially in the customertobusiness perspective,
has opened new opportunities for sales, as well as new is
sues to address in the design of online stores. In particular,
since these stores are accessed by heterogeneous users, they
should satisfy different needs and preferences in the selection
of goods; this ability requires filtering capabilities, to iden
tify the items most suited to the specific customers [?, ?].
