JeromeDL and FOAFRealm - Taking Advantage of Semantic Social Collaborative Filtering in Digital Libraries

Abstract

In this paper, we present FOAFRealm, a user management library based on social networking and FOAF metadata, and its deployment in JeromeDL, a digital library with semantics. We will demonstrate the most important features of FOAFRealm as applied to JeromeDL - semantically-enhanced search features, semantic social collaborative filtering and semantic query expansion - to exemplify the advantages of semantic technologies in digital libraries.
