Social Semantic Collaborative Filtering for Digital Libraries

The most popular collaborative filtering implementations require either a critical mass of referenced resources or a lot of active users. Other solutions are based on finding a referral with an expertise on the given domain of discourse. In this article we present the social semantic collaborative filtering solution to information retrieval. We describe how the concept of users' managed collect...

Semantic Web Opportunities for Digital Libraries

The World Wide Web has enabled easy access to a myriad of information resources. People can access the objects and metadata in digital collections of libraries, museum and archives from anywhere in the world. This opens the possibility to reach a broader public. This also creates the opportunity to connect the archives of different institutes, so users could access multiple collections from one...

Greenstone: a platform for semantic digital libraries

This chapter illustrates the impact on a well–known digital library system – Greenstone – when it is moved from fixed modules and simple metadata–based structures, to open semantic digital library modules. This change has profound effects on the tools available to end–users to retrieve relevant content from the library, and an equally significant impact on the digital library (DL) architecture....

Semantic Integration of Digital Libraries

Semantic Integration/Interoperability of heterogeneous data sources offers several key features. These characteristics include the following: publication of the data source's semantics, expressive query capabilities (viz. semantic queries), dynamic integration of data sources, interoperability between semantic integration systems that cooperate in the same or in different application domains, e...
