Publisher's Synopsis
Encyclopaedia of Methods and Applications of Digital library science examines the theory and practice of acquisition, definition, organization, management, and dissemination of digital information via global networking. It emphasizes issues in digital information production, management, and use; high-speed networks and connectivity; interoperability and seamless integration of informa- tion, people, profiles, tasks, and needs; security and privacy of individuals and business transac- tions; and effective business processes. It illustrates how suitable knowledge environments can be more easily prepared as instances of these meta-models, resulting in usable and useful DLs, including for education, computing, and archaeology.
