Scope of the Journal is In the context of libraries, various emerging technologies such asSemantic Web and Web 2.0 can be viewed as an extension of existing metadata-intensive approaches to the concept of the “digital library”. Such an extension should be appreciated in two dimensions: On the one hand, the Semantic Web builds on a common logics-based framework adapted to the Web, which eases technology adoption whilepreserving a strong commitment to a formal foundation for metadata. At the same time, the sharing of ontologies as public Web resources offersnew opportunities for interoperability across institutional repositories (libraries, cultural heritage institutions and the like) and personal or organisational records. In addition, the representation of information resources can be easily linked to metadata describing personal or group preferences, objectives or links, and even to personal relationships, as described by the Friend-of-a-Friend (FOAF) framework. These specific characteristics of the Semantic Web and Web 2.0 approachconform to a paradigm for building library systems that go a step beyond the existing technological infrastructure. Currently in the context of FP7 of European Commission’s ICTs Program, http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/, the Challenge 4, of Digital Libraries and Content sets, specific priorities: “…In today’s society individuals and organisations are confronted with an ever-growing load and diversity of information and content, and with increasing demands for knowledge and skills. Coping with these demands requires progress in three closely related domains. First, content should be made available through digital libraries and its long-term preservation, accessibility and usability must be ensured. Second, we need more effective technologies for intelligent content creation and management, and for supporting the capture of knowledge and its sharing and reuse. Third, individuals and organisations have to find new ways to acquire, contribute and exploit knowledge, and thereby learn. The challenge, therefore, is to harness the synergies made possible by linking content, knowledge and learning; to make content and knowledge abundant, accessible, interactive and usable over time by humans and machines alike. OPEN RESEARCH JOURNAL ON DIGITAL LIBRARIES promotes the multidisciplinary discussion for the evolution of Digital Libraries and their contribution to the Vision of the Knowledge Society.
