Visual Semantic Modeling of Digital Libraries

Integration of complex archeology digital libraries: An ETANA-DL experience

“…3). 5SGraph [11,12] supports analysis and specification, while 5SGen [13] melds together suitable components from a large software pool to yield a running system. To semi-automatically build an integrated DL, we extend this approach and develop the 5SSuite tool to cover the process of union DL generation, including requirements gathering (see Fig.…”

“…In this section, we describe the use of the 5SGraph tool [11,12] to specify two of the archeological information systems of ETANA projects (http://www.etana.org/). They are Nimrin (http:// www.case.edu/affil/nimrin/) and Halif (http://www.…”

“…Section 2 covers the related work. Section 3 describes DL modeling in the archeological domain and the use of the 5SGraph [11,12] tool to create archeological DL models. Section 4 illustrates how the mapping service (one of the services in an integrated DL) provided by the SchemaMapper [14] tool addresses semantic interoperability and helps generate a union catalog.…”

“…Major services provided by Nimrin and Halif are browsing and database searching. We used 5SGraph [11,12] to model each of them before integration and the services provided by the integrated DL apply on all the data integrated from the two information systems. Fig.…”

Incremental, Semi-automatic, Mapping-Based Integration of Heterogeneous Collections into Archaeological Digital Libraries: Megiddo Case Study

“…This metamodel performs a mapping from elements of the global DL schema to the hierarchical levels in each dimension using XPath expressions. This metamodel, derived from the global schema, is generated by 5SGraph [18]. The browsing metamodel used for ETANA-DL is at http://feathers.dlib.vt.edu/~etana/browse/etanabrowse.xml.…”
