JeromeDL is a social semantic digital library that allows users to easily publish and access resources online through metadata tagging and community sharing features. It integrates information from different metadata sources, provides interoperability between systems, and delivers more robust search interfaces powered by semantics. Resources are accessible by machines through rich metadata and the system involves the community in sharing knowledge through social features like comments, bookmarks, and user profiles.

2. Outline of the presentation Introduction to Semantic Digital Libraries Overview of JeromeDL Architecture of JeromeDL Working with JeromeDL Demo

3. Social Semantic Digital Library A library stores and provides access to resources (books) Qualified staff updates catalogues and helps users

4. Social Semantic Digital Library Machine-readable resources Full-text index improves searching Easy access Availability

5. Social Semantic Digital Library Resources are accessible by machines, not with machines Metadata is rich and extensible Searching reflects meaning of terms RDF is a standard for representing information Not just resources but also knowledge is shared

6. Social Semantic Digital Library Involves the community into sharing knowledge Utilizes social network in searching Allows for comments, blogs, shared bookmarks Easy tagging

7. Evolution of Libraries Social Semantic Digital Library Involves the community into sharing knowledge Semantic Digital Library Accessible by machines, not only with machines Digital Library Online, easy searching with a full-text index Library Organized collection

8. Semantic Digital Library Semantic digital libraries integrate information based on different metadata, e.g.: resources, user profiles, bookmarks, taxonomies provide interoperability with other systems (not only digital libraries) deliver more robust, user friendly and adaptable search and browsing interfaces empowered by semantics

9. JeromeDL - Motivations Support for different kinds of bibliographic medatata, like: DublinCore , BibTeX and MARC21 at the same time. Making use of existing rich sources of bibliographic descriptions (like MARC21) created by human. Supporting users and communities: user s ha ve control over their profile information ; community-aware profiles are integrated with bibliographic descriptions support for community generated knowledge Delivering communication between instances: P2P mode for searching and users authentication Hierarchical mode for browsing

10. JeromeDL – Social Semantic Digital Library JeromeDL fulfills requirements of: Librarians precise annotations rich metadata Researchers easy publishing searching related topics Average users efficient search and browsing online collaboration

11. JeromeDL - Architecture

12. Ontologies in JeromeDL

13. Using JeromeDL Uploading a resource provide title, abstract, author etc. provide structure of the resource (e.g., chapters) choose domains of the subject choose keywords for the resource set additional properties upload digital parts of the resource

14. Using JeromeDL

15. Using JeromeDL An administrator either approves or rejects a published resource

16. Sharing bookmarks

17. JeromeDL for a regular user Browsing resources by type, author, keyword, domain Downloading the resource and its bibliographic description in various formats Subscribing to RSS feeds Searching simple, advanced, distributed, semantic
