Libraries have always been an inspiration for the standards and
technologies developed by semantic web activities. However, except
for the Dublin Core specification, semantic web and social
networking technologies have not been widely adopted and further
developed by major digital library initiatives and projects. Yet
semantic technologies offer a new level of flexibility,
interoperability, and relationships for digital repositories.
Kruk and McDaniel present semantic web-related aspects of
current digital library activities, and introduce their
functionality; they show examples ranging from general
architectural descriptions to detailed usages of specific
ontologies, and thus stimulate the awareness of researchers,
engineers, and potential users of those technologies. Their
presentation is completed by chapters on existing prototype systems
such as JeromeDL, BRICKS, and Greenstone, as well as a look into
the possible future of semantic digital libraries.
This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in areas
like digital libraries, the semantic web, social networks, and
information retrieval. This audience will benefit from detailed
descriptions of both today's possibilities and also the
shortcomings of applying semantic web technologies to large digital
repositories of often unstructured data.
