    An Architecture for Multischeming in Digital Libraries
    Krowne, Aaron; Fox, Edward A. (Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2003)
    In this paper we discuss the problem of handling many classification schemes within the context of a single digital library concurrently, which we term multischeming. We discuss how to represent which category describes an object in the digital library in this system, as well as the workings of the browsing process which is performed by the user. We motivate this problem as related to digital library interoperability, and propose an architecture for representation of classification schemes in the digital library which solves the problem. We also discuss its implementation in the CITIDEL project.

    Building Digital Libraries from Simple Building Blocks
    Suleman, Hussein; Fox, Edward A.; Krowne, Aaron; Luo, Ming; Kelapure, Rohit (Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2003)
    Metadata harvesting has been established by the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) as a viable mechanism for connecting a provider of data to a purveyor of services. The Open Digital Library (ODL) model is an emerging framework which attempts to break up the services into appropriate components based also on the basic philosophy of the OAI model. This framework has been applied to various projects and evaluated for its simplicity, extensibility and reusability to support the hypothesis that digital libraries (DLs) should be built from simple Web Service-like components instead of as monolithic software applications.
