Interface Base Knowledge Discovery and Information Retrieval of Digital Repository Using Semantic Web

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of recent Semantic Web technologies which can be used to enhance digital libraries in semantic nature. Deploying Semantic Web technologies would lead to efficient and more precise representation of digital library content and hence better retrieval. This paper presents a mode for enhancing the library with semantic technology and talk about the implementation of semantic technologies for architecting digital libraries, that will go a long way in providing digital library architecture and web based information services with product highly customized to users’ needs. Digital libraries have been an important source of information throughout the history of mankind. It has been present in our societies in different forms. Notably, traditional libraries have found their on the desktops of internet users. They have taken the shape of semantic digital libraries, which are accessible at any time, and accordingly provide a more meaningful search. This paper explains the Semantic Web and the technologies that support its functioning, including XML, RDF, and Ontology. Semantic Web technologies are considered from the perspective of digital Libraries and how Semantic Web technologies can enhance the functioning of digital libraries. The paper additionally explores on some existing semantic digital library systems like DSpace, SMILE, JeromeDL and BRICKS.
