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...

Semantic Issues for Digital Libraries
