Information overload has become a very important aspect of information retrieval domain. Even if a user knows where to look for interesting information, he can have a problem with precisely formulating his information needs. A solution of the problem is personalization and recommendation system-they observe user activities, analyze them to discover important preferences. Based on these information the system can improve the effectiveness of the results. In this paper we present a method for determining user profile in a document retrieval system. We propose ontology-based profile. Such a structure allows to process semantic relations between users' queries. We focus on methods for adapting profile because only up-to-date profile can help the user to obtained results that correspond with his information needs. We present a set of postulates for adaptation methods. Performed experimental evaluations of developed methods are promising.
