This e-book presents a collection of papers aimed at exploring some of the potential, opportunities and challenges to be found in greater LIS alignment with Semantic Web developments. for many digital libraries or cultural institutions, the Semantic Web offers an opportunity to better expose valuable digital resources pertaining to research, culture or history, using common standards and technologies in a collaborative and 'joined up' way. Semantic Web technologies are capable of enhancing digital libraries or repositories by facilitating improved navigation and retrieval within heterogeneous document environments, user profiling, personalisation and contextualisation, improved user interfaces and human-computer interaction. Such technologies also have the potential to solve or aid the management of problems relevant to digital libraries and the LIS community generally, such as semantic interoperability, advanced metadata and information integration, the management of large corpora of heterogeneous digital resources, and so forth.
