A Digital Library Testbed to Support Networked Scholarly Communities
Abstract:
SCHOLNET aims at developing a digital library testbed to support networked scholarly communities. The digital library will provide traditional digital library services in addition to support for non-textual data types, hypermedia annotation, cross-language search and retrieval, and personalized information dissemination. This testbed will be used to demonstrate how an enhanced digital library can enable members of a networked scholarly community to learn from, contribute to, and collectively build upon the community's discipline-oriented digital collections. The project will result in an enhanced digital library infrastructure, serving an ever-evolving distributed repository of a scientific community's knowledge. The digital library would be used actively by the members of the community in everyday individual and/or collaborative tasks and would be regularly updated and extended.
