available digitally.
A digital object identifier (DOI):- is a unique alphanumeric string assigned by
a registration agency (the International DOI Foundation) to identify content and
provide a persistent link to its location on the Internet.
The publisher assigns a DOI when your article is published and made available
electronically.
is used to uniquely identify an electronic document or other object.
Metadata about the object is stored in association with the DOI name
and this metadata may include a location, such as a URL, where the
object can be found. With

CRITERIA FOR DIGITAL LIBRARY
o To develop a digital library system, the following criteria can be considered.
1. Low cost, including all hardware and software components;
2. Technically simple to install and manage;
3. Robust: continuous operation with very low downtime, failure rate and
variability.
4. Scalable: capable of being scaled or upgraded
5. Open and inter-operable
6. Modular: can be independently created and then accessed in different
systems.
7. User Friendly;
8. Multi-user (including both searching and maintenance);
9. Multimedia digital object enabled; and
10. Platform independent (including both client and server components)..

Principles for digital library design (Architecture)
a. Service driven: DL architecture must be driven by the services it provides and tools
required for delivering the service.
b. Open Architecture : The architecture must be open, extensible and support
interoperability among heterogeneous, distributed systems.
C. Scalability: The architecture must be robust, scalable and reliable in a high
transaction rate
h. Time frame: The time frame required to plan for system migrations in the next
year as well as planning for a technology generation framework should be
approximately 3 to 5 years

The metadata is for content and is added to the digital library.
It provides information about the content. So, Metadata and data must be
bound together logically, and there must be a robust underlying technology
to manage the logical connection through time, across platforms, and over
geographical separations, all on a networked, distributed system.

Content Organization
These systems are used to organize content for the purpose of retrieval and
to manage a collection. This serves as a bridge between the user’s
information need and material in the collection.
Knowledge Organization Systems help the user to identify their need
without prior knowledge of its existence.

Semantic web
Semantic Web is a web of data that are associated in
such a way that they can easily be processed by
machines instead of human operators.
The next generation of web, called semantic web it is
based on the machine-process able semantics of the
information, stored in the machine process able
metadata.
This is not a separate web but an extension of the
current web in which the information is given well-
defined meaning, better enabling computers and
humans to work in cooperation.

The prerequisite of this web, as its definition implies, is metadata
that explicitly represent semantics of data which called ontology.
Ontologies that describe knowledge in specific area are often
connected with systems for data mining and knowledge
management.
