Combining RDF and agent-based architectures for semantic interoperability in digital libraries (original) (raw)

This paper presents an approach to achieving semantic interoperability in digital libraries by integrating RDF (Resource Description Framework) and agent-based architectures. It outlines a three-phase selection process for service invocation: matchmaking, planning, and contract networks, emphasizing the use of RDFS (RDF Schema) for describing service capabilities. The approach aims to bridge the semantic heterogeneity among diverse digital libraries, thereby enhancing the functionality and user experience in accessing information across varied datasets.
