The application of Semantic Grid in digital library knowledge management

Abstract

With Grids' further development and the acceleration of Grid technology, there'll be the consequence of reduced transparency for user as huge amount of resources and services are not easily interpreted by the human user. Utilizing semantic web technology interprets the resources and services will greatly reduced human efforts and use the resources and services more efficiently. Semantic Grid can bring different communities together to solve large-scale problem, so human's interest on grid is increasing, and a secure foundation enable technology providers to collaborate and share information is urgently needed. The Author research on the grid technology with aims of solving the problems of interoperability and heterogeneous resource in constructing the federated Digital Library (DL) for knowledge management, applying both the grid and semantic web technology in the research of DL. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.
