A Reference Model for Semantic Enabled Services Library System
Abstract
Background/Objectives: This study proposes functional requirements and an architectural reference model of Semantic Library, recognized as a prototype of next-generation library information systems.
Methods/Statistical analysis: Semantic Library can realize semantic interoperability and integration based on ontology and metadata, and also renovate information services for users with openness, sharing, participation and collaboration. Semantic Library will be effectively implemented by means of service-oriented architecture and the logical structure of FRBR. In this study, a reference model of Semantic Library at cloud computing environment emerging is presented as a next-generation model of library information systems.
Findings: The LOD form evolves into an open library framework, and the detailed technology can be categorized into six categories.
First is LOD converting technology, which can publish structured database like non-structured data into RDF triples by rule-based mechanism.
Second is to develop an ontology language to specify LOD data at web service and distributed processing system, and is about technology for registering LOD information resources which is possible to register LOD specification.
Third is LOD data retrieving parts for LOD data set and semantic retrieving system which are used to search ontology, semantic web and semantic retrieving field.
Fourth is knowledge service specification and registration enabled field.
Fifth is about discovery of semantic based knowledge service used for semantic based matching system which discovers most optimized services to coup with user requirements and service profile for ontology, semantic web and inferences.
Six is LOD based service development parts, which is an integrated development environment (IDE).
Improvements/Applications: This study combines libraries, information technology, and nextgeneration Internet technologies, including the concept of semantic libraries and functional requirements.
Keywords: FRBR, library3.0, ontology, LOD, semantic digital library.
