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...

Among the challenges of classifying, locating and accessing knowledge in Digital Libraries tackling with the huge amount of resources the Web provides, improving Digital Libraries by means of different strategies, particularly, using semantics remains a promising and interesting approach. In this paper, we present CallimachusDL, a semantics-based Digital Library which provides faceted search, e...

This paper attempted to develop and validate an instrument that measures users’ views about the usability of digital libraries. Users’ views toward the usability of digital libraries may serve as the major conduit to user acceptance and satisfaction, thus promoting positive learning experiences. The instrument, digital library usability, consisted of 12 items that described usability properties...

Data integration is a central issue in digital libraries to facilitate the access and manipulation of the highly distributed, heterogeneous, and dynamic collection of information sources. In this paper, we survey the data integration approaches that meet the digital library requirements and identify the specific issues that contribute to the complexity of data integration in digital libraries.

This chapter describes not so much what digital libraries are but what digital libraries with semantic support could and should be. It discusses the nature of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) and how KOS can support digital library users. It projects a vision for designers to make and for users to demand better digital libraries. What is a digital library? The term “Digital Library” (DL) is...

Academic digital libraries are getting more benefit from the Web possibilities to help with teaching, learning and research activities. Because of it, more andmore people use the services that they offer. Therefore, it is very important that the academic digital libraries provide a good service in order to satisfy the users’ expectations. The aim of this paper is to present a decision support s...

9 In this article, we review the state-of-the-art of natural language processing and Semantic Web technologies, and explore their potential applications as value-added digital library services. We argue that a digital library is not merely a collection of digital or digitized objects with search and browse interfaces. Several definitions and views of digital libraries have appeared in publicati...
