Slide 3: What is a Social Semantic Digital Library? Social semantic digital libraries – integrate information from various sources – provide interoperability with other systems (not only libraries) – deliver more robust, user friendly and adaptable search and browsing interfaces empowered by semantics and social networking

Slide 4: JeromeDL – Social Semantic Digital Library • Digital Library build with semantics and communities in mind • Build to reflect requirements of: – Librarians – Researchers – Average users • Ultimate goal – accessibility achieved through – Interface design – Search and browsing technologies – In-depth internationalization effort 4

Slide 5: Ontologies in JeromeDL

Slide 6: JeromeDL – Delivering Semantic Content • Providing semantic annotations during uploading process: – open module (JOnto) for handling any taxonomies – keywords based on: • WordNet • free tagging – defining structure of resources in the JeromeDL ontology • Lifting legacy metadata to MarcOnt ontology • Community maintained annotations – social semantic collaborative filtering – semantic descriptions based on the FOAF metadata 6

Slide 7: JeromeDL – Semantic Information In Use • Keyword-based search with semantic query expansion • Semantic search: – Direct RDF querying – Natural language templates • Social Semantic Collaborative Filtering • Faceted Navigation: – creators, – types, – keywords, – topics • Heterogeneous communication: – Bibster, A9, OAI 7
