    5. The Semantic Web – Applications
      • Semantic Web cannot be and is not only a set of recommendations
      • Semantic Web is becoming reality by applications that support it and are based on it
      • Enabling technologies:
        • RDF Storages: Sesame, Jena, YARS
        • Reasoners: KAON, Racer
        • Editors: Protege, SWOOP, MarcOnt Portal
      • End-User applications:
        • Semantic wikis: Makna, SemperWiki
        • Semantic blogs
        • Semantic digital libraries
    6. What is a Semantic Digital Library?
      • Semantic digital libraries
        • integrate information based on different metadata, e.g.: resources, user profiles, bookmarks, taxonomies – high quality semantics = highly and meaningfully connected information
        • provide interoperability with other systems (not only digital libraries) on either metadata or communication level or both – RDF as common denominator between digital libraries and other services
        • delivering more robust, user friendly and adaptable search and browsing interfaces empowered by semantics
    7. Semantic Web Technologies for Digital Libraries?
      • Metadata is the key concept
      • the Web does not have metadata
        • the idea of a Semantic Web is nice but difficult to implement
      • many digital libraries do have metadata in place
      • we simply must make them available in a machine understandable format
      • the Semantic Web provides the format: RDF
    8. Semantic Web Technologies for Digital Libraries?
      • Knowledge in bibliographic records
      • Digital Libraries already have controlled vocabularies, taxonomies or even ontologies in place
      • the challenge is to model this knowledge in a machine understandable way
      • the Semantic Web provides ontology languages:
        • RDF Schema
        • OWL
        • SKOS
    9. Taxonomy of Knowledge Organization Systems
      • Term Lists
        • Authority files ( FOAF )
        • Glossaries
        • Dictionaries
        • Gazetteers
      • Classifications and Categories ( DMoz )
        • Subject headings
        • Classification schemes
        • Taxonomies
        • Categorization Schemes.
      • Relationship Lists
        • Thesauri ( WordNet, MeSH )
        • Semantic networks
        • Ontologies
      (Hodge, 2000)
    10. Benefits of Semantic Digital Libraries
      • The two main benefits of Semantic Digital Libraries
      • new search paradigms for the information space
        • Ontology-based search / facet search
        • Community-enabled browsing
      • providing interoperability on the data level
        • integrating metadata from various heterogeneous sources
        • Interconnecting different digital library systems

        • Semantics in Use
      • JeromeDL in Action
      • e-Learning 2.0
      • Conclusions
    12. Semantic DL as Evolving Knowledge Space
      • In state-of-the-art digital libraries users are consumers
        • Retrieve contents based on available bibliographic records
      • Recent trends: user communities
        • Connetea
        • Flickr
      • In Semantic digital libraries users are contributers as well
        • Tagging (Web 2.0)
        • Social Semantic Collaborative Filtering
        • Annotations
      • Semantic Digital libraries enforce the transition from a static information to a dynamic (collaborative) knowledge space
      • Why current (semantic) digital libraries are not enough?
        • digital libraries should not be for librarians only but for average people
        • they concentrate on delivering content/information, not on knowledge sharing within a community of users
        • digital libraries have lost human-part of their predecessors
      • What could be the solution?
        • make users/readers involved in the content annotation process
        • allow users/readers to share their knowledge within a community
        • provide better communication between users in and across communities
      The future - Social Semantic Digital Libraries
    13. Social Semantic Information Spaces
