Towards a digital library theory: a formal digital library ontology

International Journal on Digital Libraries, 2008
Digital libraries (DLs) have eluded definitional consensus and lack agreement on common theories and frameworks. This makes comparison of DLs extremely difficult, promotes ad-hoc development, and impedes interoperability. In this paper we propose a formal ontology for DLs that defines the fundamental concepts, relationships, and axiomatic rules that ...

Making a digital library

ACM Transactions on Information Systems, 1997
The CORE (Chemical Online Retrieval Experiment) project is a library of primary journal articles in chemistry. Any library has an inside and an outside; in this article we describe the inside of the library and the methods for building the system and accumulating the database. A later article will describe the outside (user experiences).

Digital libraries—a quality concept

International Journal of Medical Informatics, 1997
The idea of digital libraries is not new, but recent developments have made the realisation of this idea more of a practical possibility than ever before. In particular, the availability of tools for easy access to information and for easy production of new information has encouraged traditional publishers to make their information available in digital

Digital Library Requirements

2009
The gathering of user requirements is key to the gaining of a deeper understanding of the needs evolving from the user’s operational context and from the use of the system. User requirements are pivotal in guiding the development process of any system. This is no less true in the arena of digital libraries (DLs). The gathering of DL requirements should

Integrating a Digital Library and a Traditional Library

Technical Services Quarterly, 2007
With the proliferation of digitized materials and digital libraries, academic librarians have an opportunity to use their metadata and database design expertise to cultivate relationships with faculty and digital-object users. This article describes how librarians at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) have made an effort to expand ...

“What is a good digital library?” – A quality model for digital libraries

Information Processing & Management, 2007
In this article, we elaborate on the meaning of quality in digital libraries (DLs) by proposing a model that is deeply grounded in a formal framework for digital libraries: 5S (Streams, Structures, Spaces, Scenarios, and Societies). For each major DL concept in the framework we formally define a number of dimensions of quality and propose a set of ...

A service-oriented customizable Digital Library

Proceedings of the 2004 ACM symposium on Applied computing, 2004
Web services represent the new methodological and technological challenge in the area of Web-based systems, but they raise problems of discovery, interoperability, security. In this paper we address the problem of Web service interoperability, proposing a Digital Library system that allows for the integration of services offered by different providers.

Document Recognition for a Digital Library

ACM SIGOIS Bulletin, 1994
Our work concerns three major processes which help to build a DL database for IR. Several components of the system are shown to be useful for creating a DL database. The design of these processes stresses the importance of robustness and ease of adaptation to the processing of different documents.
