A model of multilingual digital library

چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of multilingual digital libraries. The motivation for a such a digital library comes from the diversity of languages of the Internet users as well as the diversity of content authors, from e-book authors to writers of courseware. The basic definitions of such a system, the specifications of its functionality and the identification of the items it holds are discussed. The impact of multilinguism in each of the former aspects is presented. A case study of a multilingual digital library in the Maxwell System in PUC-Rio is described in the last sections. Its main characteristics are described and the current status of its digital library is shown.
