Building Digital Libraries Made Easy: Toward Open Digital Libraries

Abstract: Abstract. Digital libraries (DLs) promote a sharing culture among those who contribute and those who use resources. This same approach works when building Open Digital Libraries (ODLs). Leveraging the intellectual and practical investment made in the Open Archives Initiative through an eXtended Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (XPMH), one can build lightweight protocols to tie together key components that together make up the core of a DL. DL developers in various settings have learned how to apply this framew… Show more

“…These applications are said to demonstrate the benefits of the 5S formal descriptions of digital library architectures (structures), content definitions (streams), clients (societies), service models (scenarios), and perspectives (spaces). If not yet exactly full‐scale digital libraries in a box, these are, at least, boxes of useful components (Fox, 2003; Fox, Suleman, & Luo, 2002; Hussein, Fox, Kelapure, Krowne, & Luo, 2003).…”

“…-Real world semantics: the practice of mapping real world objects for a system originated in database research, when data models became known as semantic models (Peckham and Maryanski 1988); in this case, semantics concerns the improvement of the understanding of models, since the previous ones were implementation-oriented; -Implicit semantics: this is not necessarily a formal semantics, and what seems to characterize it is the existence of a consensus among a group of people in order to establish a standard; in digital libraries, for instance, this approach is called federation (Fox, 2002); and, -In addition to exceptions, we can still highlight in Table 2 the "Formal for humans" semantics item in order to clarify that Formal Semantics is not exclusively used in computer-based information system contexts, but is also used by people.…”

“…The issue of guidelines for the design of user-centred DLs was addressed by Fox et al (2002). The authors indicated that to deliver usable and useful interactive systems, designers need to ensure that good design features are incorporated into the systems, by considering end-users needs and cultural backgrounds.…”
