Demo
Social Semantic Digital Library
A library stores and provides access to
resources (books)
Qualified staff updates catalogues and helps users
Social Semantic Digital Library
Machine-readable resources
Full-text index improves searching
Easy access
Availability
Social Semantic Digital Library
Resources are accessible by machines, not with machines
Metadata is rich and extensible
Searching reflects meaning of terms
RDF is a standard for representing information
Not just resources but also knowledge is shared
Social Semantic Digital Library
Involves the community into sharing knowledge
Utilizes social network in searching
Allows for comments, blogs, shared bookmarks
Easy tagging

Semantic Digital Library
Semantic digital libraries
integrate information based on different metadata, e.g.:
resources, user profiles, bookmarks, taxonomies
provide interoperability with other systems (not only digital
libraries)
deliver more robust, user friendly and adaptable search and
browsing interfaces empowered by semantics
What are SDL?
They aim to integrate information coming from different
sources
SDLs provide interoperability mechnisms and can act as an
integration champions in heterogeneous networks of libraries
But the **ultimate goal** is to provide better service for the
end user that is search and browsing features
JeromeDL - Motivations
Support for different kinds of bibliographic medatata, like:
DublinCore, BibTeX and MARC21 at the same time.
Making use of existing rich sources of bibliographic
descriptions (like MARC21) created by human.
Supporting users and communities:
users have control over their profile information;
community-aware profiles are integrated with bibliographic
descriptions
support for community generated knowledge
Delivering communication between instances:
P2P mode for searching and users authentication
Hierarchical mode for browsing
JeromeDL Social Semantic Digital Library
JeromeDL fulfills requirements of:
Librarians
precise annotations
rich metadata
Researchers
easy publishing
searching related topics
Average users
efficient search and browsing
online collaboration
JeromeDL - Architecture
Ontologies in JeromeDL
Using JeromeDL
Uploading a resource
provide title, abstract, author etc.
provide structure of the resource (e.g., chapters)
choose domains of the subject
choose keywords for the resource
set additional properties
upload digital parts of the resource
Using JeromeDL
Using JeromeDL
An administrator either approves or rejects a published
resource
Sharing bookmarks
JeromeDL for a regular user
Browsing resources
by type, author, keyword, domain
Downloading the resource and its bibliographic description in
various formats
Subscribing to RSS feeds
Searching
simple, advanced, distributed, semantic
JeromeDL for a regular user
Summary
An easy solution for putting resources online
A community around your repository
Support for many languages
Integration with Bibster and OpenSearch protocols
