Good bye Old Digital Library: Community-based Collaboration is a MUST (From the ESWC 2007)
by Ismail Fahmi | June 5, 2007 |
Hi all. I’m now in Innsbruck attending the ESWC 2007 conference. The first day, I attend a tutorial about the Semantic Digital Library. This is a short note from this tutorial.
There are three systems presented and demonstrated in a full day tutorial about the Semantic Digital Library (DL), on Sunday, 3rd of June 2007. The three systems are JeromeDL (DERI Galway), Fedora (Cornell University), and BRICK (Univ of Vienna). I followed this tutorial because I want to know the current development and the future vision of the digital library, w.r.t to the semantic web.
The explosion of the involvement of communities into the Internet, for example indicated by the huge number of blogs and blogospheres, have shifted the old paradigm of the digital library. The old digital library are not enough any more, because it is a one way communication, from librarian to users. Library and librarian have information, and users just use them. The future of digital library should allow community of users to give contribution to the system.
There is a new coined term, at least new for me, named ’social semantic digital library’. In this model, a user can give comments to any resources presented in the system, create bookmarks and shared their contributions with other users. Moreover, a semantic digital library tool like Fedore allow user to create a blog on top of a digital library application.
We are not really ’say good bye’ to the old digital library. We have to use their power such as providing search, browse, harvesting, etc. But, we also have to provide community-based services in order to they can join the ‘new generation of the web’. This generation based on providing answer to user needs, profiding findings, not search results. More about this can be read here (from the presentation of Ron on the new science of the internet).

Hi is..I bet you still remember me. It is interesting to read your thoughts about the shifting paradigm in digital library. The changing paradigm occur in almost every aspect of discipline, the participatory approach. Last year I went to a workshop in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and one among the main issues that had been discussed was semantic web. I’d love to read more of your thoughts….
Is..need your help. Do you happen to know an expert in semantic web in Indonesia. Your assistance is highly appreciated.
Is this Ibu Iris Tutuarima from the library of the Bank of Indonesia? I only know one ‘Iris’ so far :-)
Thanks Bu Iris for your comments. I have a little thought on the digital library paradigm, especially after the conference and during developing a semantic web application for our library here.
I am afraid I cannot write it in the near future, since now ’something’ is racing to me. You know what I mean. However, I’ll write a little when I get stuck with the ’something’.
Greeting to your warm family.
Iya Is… but I’m now back with the public relations. Sorry…aku nggak tahu kamu udah jawab… regards to your family ya…
