Towards the Schema Heterogeneity in Distributed Digital Libraries
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we discussed the problems brought by the schema heterogeneity in DLs, especially those problems found in the application of the OAI-PMH protocol. This paper studies the problem from two perspectives, namely the schema and the architecture respectively. A preliminary architecture is provided that integrates the ontology, agent, P2P together to support the schema mapping. And the semantic negotiation strategy between the heterogenous agents has also been described.

A Novel Strategy in Integrating Meta-information in Federated Digital Libraries
This paper reviews the popular methodologies in integrating metadata records in distributed digital libraries environment. Each of these solutions does meet some of the requirements of distributed library services somehow, but still some issues need further study, such as limitation on the capacity of collections, retrieval of content-related records built in different metadata formats. In orde...
متن کاملInformation Retrieval in Digital Libraries Using XML Mediation
Digital libraries are more and more available on the web. However, retrieving information in these libraries is not easy because of sources heterogeneity and distribution. Thus, we propose the use of virtual integration with mediator-wrapper architecture. This architecture allows access to relational sources, XML documents and text files. The mediator schema is based on XML and Xquery as query ...
متن کاملArgumentation-based schema matching for multiple digital libraries
Purpose – Most digital libraries (DLs) are now available online. They also provide the Z39.50 standard protocol which allows computer-based systems to effectively retrieve information stored in the DLs. The major difficulty lies in inconsistency between database schemas of multiple DLs. This paper presents a system known as Argumentation-based Digital Library Search (or ADLSearch) which facilit...
متن کاملResource Discovery in Distributed Digital Libraries
In the near future, users will have access to a vast number of digital libraries. For a given information need and limited resources, there is the problem of selecting those libraries which produce an overall optimum answer. This resource discovery problem is additionally complicated by the diversity of the sources, e.g. with respect to media, document formats, indexing methods, database schema...
متن کاملA Universal Query Interface for Heterogeneous Distributed Digital Libraries
Today, various kinds of digital libraries are accessible on the WWW (World Wide Web). The interoperability among those systems is one of the major topics of the digital library community. This paper presents a HyNeSS model and its query interface for that purpose. The HyNeSS model integrates the entity relationship model and the predicate logic, and provides a universal and formal expression fo...
