The Design and Implementation of Digital Library Resource Management System Based on Topic Map

摘要

The Digital Library enables us to create almost unlimited quantities of information and to make it immediately available to the world, but we have much difficulty trying to locate the information that we really need. Finding aids are therefore becoming highly desirable. Topic maps provide a standard approach to creating finding aids. In this article, we attempted to use the Topic Maps as the resource description model in Digital Library. We propose the use of a clustering algorithm and Topic Maps to discover and represent knowledge. We describe the action of the topic map for Digital Book organization and explore how to map XTM to the formal logic and how to implement the logic inference supporting based on Topic Map. Lastly, the article implements a resource management system of digital library (KNOWMAP). The objective of this system is to exploit the XTM and database technology to aid management resources in Digital Library.
