Abstract: | DelosDLMS is a novel digital library management system (DLMS) that has been developed as an integration effort within the
DELOS Network of Excellence, a European Commission initiative funded under its fifth and sixth framework programs. In this
paper, we describe DelosDLMS that takes into account the recommendations of several activities that were initiated by DELOS
including the DELOS vision for digital libraries (DLs). A key aspect of DelosDLMS is its novel generic infrastructure that
allows the generation of digital library systems out of a set of basic system services and DL services in a modular and extensible
way. DL services like feature extraction, visualization, intelligent browsing, media-type-specific indexing, support for multilinguality,
relevance feedback and many others can easily be incorporated or replaced. A further key aspect of DelosDLMS is its robustness
against failures and its scalability for large collections and many parallel user requests. We discuss the current status
of an effort to build DelosDLMS, a Digital Library Management System that integrates in various ways several components developed
by DELOS members and showcases a great variety of functionality that is outlined as part of the DELOS vision. |
