Digital Libraries Beyond Cultural Heritage Information

This chapter introduces digital libraries as a means of cultural heritage access and diffusion. It argues that digital libraries, combined with superimposed information techniques, offers a potentially more substantive approach to understanding the historical documentation analysis problem. Furthermore, the authors hope that understanding the documental and technological assumptions constructs through the use of programming and automatic interpreter will not only inform researches of a better scheme for labelling cultural heritage information but also assist in the need of involved other areas such as multiagent systems, pattern matching, information management and information visualization based on content association, to solve the vast majority of problems set out in the work context, and the result is a versatile digital library prototype which covers the cultural heritage information that the users need.
