Digital Library System

Digital libraries provide access to information in digital form and can vary greatly in size and scope. They allow for flexible and speedy reproduction and sharing of knowledge. A digital library is a type of information retrieval system that comprehensively collects, manages, and preserves digital content for long-term use. Digital libraries use technologies like personal computers, networks, and computer applications to capture and make information electronically available on a large scale in new and innovative ways compared to traditional physical libraries.

Introduction
Digital Library:
An electronic library (also referred to as digital
repository)

Libraries can vary immensely in size and scope,


and can be maintained by individuals,
organizations, or affiliated with established
physical library.

Overall, A digital library is a type of information


retrieval system from a large collection of Data
Development of Digital
Library
The term was first popularized by the
NSF/DARPA/NASA Digital Libraries Initiative in
1994.
The term virtual library was initially used
interchangeably with digital library, but is now
primarily used for libraries that are artificial in
other senses
Digital Library Reference Model:
A potentially virtual organization, that
comprehensively collects, manages and
preserves for the long depth of time rich digital
content
Different Perspectives.
In the early history of man, we had only an oral
tradition with which to maintain our increasing fund of
knowledge and recollection of history
With the invention of writing, we were able to speed
up the process of information capture and simplify its
reproduction
Then dry-process reproduction methods were
discovered and subsequently fashioned into copier
products
Computers brought yet another increment in flexibility
and speed to the task of recording and sharing human
knowledge specially in the mid-to-late 1960's
Different Perspectives.
Adjunct development by the computer-controlled
laser printer.
Thus emerges the Desktop Publishing Systems
The practitioners of Library Science:
The Library of Congress,
The Research Libraries Group at Stanford
The National Library of Medicine and
The Online Computer Library Center, Inc.,
Joined together and was called the Linked
Systems Project.
Technology and
Infrastructure
Infrastructure develops in response to the creation of
new technologies
Computer technology, especially the personal computer
or workstation
Widely dispersed in the geographic sense
The evolution of digital electronics, communication
networks and computer-based applications has amply
demonstrated the fertile potential of these
technologies and also of Digital Library
The need exists to establish an electronic information
infrastructure to capture and allow this information to
be made available
The Digital Library
Project
The digital library project is a broadly based
effort to achieve coherent development of our
national information resources.
Open architecture for Digital Library Systems
will provide the necessary structure
Enormous opportunities can be foreseen for
creating and selling new products and
services
Personal Library System (PLS)- For personal
Database Management
Spectrum of the Digital
Library System
A large amount of information is already
available in computer-based form
Not easily accessible; therefore, relatively of
little use
Spectrum of possibilities for use of a Digital
Library System ranges from the tangible to
the intangible
A Guide to the System
Personal Library Systems for the users or
Organizational Library Systems for serving groups
of individuals
The data fetching process
Local requests for information
These exchanges are, for the most part, mediated by
Knowbots
active intelligent programs capable of exchanging
messages with each other
Two important components of the DLS are the
Import/Export Servers and the Representation
Transformation Servers
Architecture of DLS
Import/Export Servers
Import/Export Server acts as a primary interface
between the Digital Library System and the outside world
Contributions to and acquisitions for the Digital Library
are presented through an Import Server
The arriving objects (e.g., documents) must come with
additional information if they are to be successfully
entered into the DLS
Information which is not in a form which can be directly
accepted at an Import Server
Import/Export Server also provides a basic mechanism
for the equivalent of interlibrary exchange services
Architecture of DLS
Registration Servers
Registration Server(s) are responsible for
Receiving messages from or hosting arriving Knowbots
carrying new information (or references to new
information) to be added to the Digital Library
Registering new users, sources of information (databases)
or other components newly added to the system.
Reports the existence of a new object to the relevant
Digital Library component
Indexing, Cataloging and Referencing Servers
Principal function is to provide global cataloging and
indexing services for the retrieval of Library content
Architecture of DLS
Database Servers
Accepting and storing new information
To house arriving Knowbots bearing queries
Accounting and Statistics Servers
To collect and store data relating to the use of
the Digital Library System
Sending the accounting portion of it to the
Billing Server
Billing System
Generates invoices for use of the Digital Library
System
Architecture of DLS
Personal Library System
Two distinct needs
Provide a basis for a completely stand alone instance of a
library system.
Interact with the other distributed components of the DLS.
Both of these requirements are treated in this section.
Architecture of DLS
Representation Transformation Servers
Vast degree of Heterogeneity in the actual
sources of information to be placed in the
Library and an equally heterogeneous collection
of recipients
DIGITAL LIBRARY VS. TRADITIONAL
LIBRARY
