Abstract

Semantic Integration/Interoperability of heterogeneous data sources offers several key features. These characteristics include the following: publication of the data source's semantics, expressive query capabilities (viz. semantic queries), dynamic integration of data sources, interoperability between semantic integration systems that cooperate in the same or in different application domains, etc. The integration of digital libraries and their interoperability are two of the main issues that still have to be addressed by the Digital Libraries community. In this paper we present the application of a semantic mediator architecture to the domain of Digital Libraries and by means of several use cases we show the main advantages it offers.
