Research on Digital Library Based on Cloud Computing

Abstract

With the rapid development of the Internet and cloud computing applications, the construction of a digital library in the cloud computing environment has been put on the agenda. Construction and management of digital libraries using cloud computing technology, can effectively utilize resources, reduce costs, achieve better information sharing, and improve the service function of the library. In this paper, studies digital library based on cloud computing. Firstly, introduces the characteristics and establish principles of digital library based on cloud computing; secondly, elaborated the concept and work principle of cloud computing; then, describes the key technology of cloud computing, and a detailed introduction of virtual storage technology in digital library; and finally introduced cloud computing digital library service model, including cloud software as a service layer (SaaS), cloud platform as a service layer (PaaS), cloud infrastructure as a service layer (IaaS).
