The Internet and the Web have been growing in leaps over the past few years, accelerating the problem of information explosion, a well-known phenomenon to all of us. Indeed, search engines (SEs) that have popped up everywhere enable us to access the cyberspace, but they flood us with vast amounts of irrelevant information. Nonetheless, considering the vast amount of information, the Web is cons...

Cloud computing is a new computing model. The emergence and development of cloud computing have a great effect on the development and application of digital library. Based on the analysis of the problem in the existing digital library, a new digital library platform architecture model based on cloud computing is put forward. The model consists of four lays: infrastructure layer, data layer, man...

The process of setting up a digital preservation repository in compliancy with the OAIS model is not only a technical challenge: libraries also need to develop and maintain appropriate skills and organizations. Digital activities, including digital preservation, are nowadays moving into the mainstream activity of the Library and are integrated in its workflows. The Bibliothèque nationale de Fra...

In this paper, we investigate issues of performance management in Digital Libraries. We defined a management architecture for measuring and monitoring the behavior of digital libraries as they operate, so that we can make performance conclusions using real life digital library load. Our architecture can be easily applied on any digital library system, introducing minimal overhead to digital lib...

The Greenstone Digital Library (GSDL) system, developed by the New Zealand Digital Library (NZDL) Consortium at the University of Waikato is a suite of open-source software for building and distributing digital library collections. At the Thai Computational Linguistic (TCL) Laboratory of CRL Asia Research Center, we plan to implement and host digital libraries in several major Asian languages. ...

Digital libraries are huge and complex information systems. Digital library users are from various backgrounds with diversified information requirements. Digital library users are fed up with the information overload problem due its unsophisticated search features. Digital libraries can be effectively implemented by addressing the information overload problem. Hence, this paper presents newly d...
