Abstract:
This work is oriented on creation of integrated virtual digital libraries mediating heterogeneous distributed digital collections of scientific information. A required infrastructure of the subject mediators aiming at semantic interoperability of heterogeneous digital library collections is presented. The diversity of information models that should be uniformly represented at the canonical level is analyzed. The canonical model and an approach for various information models homogenization in the canonical paradigm are introduced. The mediator's infrastructure is defined as a set of functionally-oriented frameworks: collection registration framework, information extraction framework, personalization framework. Mediator scalability measures are discussed.
