Cyclades: An Open Collaborative Virtual Archive Environment

International Journal of Digital Libraries


Abstract:
We envisage a Digital Library not only as a static information repository where users may submit queries to satisfy their information need, but also as a collaborative working and meeting space. We present a personalized collaborative Digital Library environment, where users may organise the information space according to their own subjective view, may become aware of each other, exchange information and knowledge, build communities and receive recommendations based on preference patterns of the users.
