electronic resources - quo vadis?

… we need aelectronic resource management

that is flexible by design.

electronic resource management

● analyzing and verifying internal workflows/ old fashioned apps○ following the conclusions of ERMI

● Publishers & Distributors (availibities, usage statistics, …)

data sources

technical solution

● aggregate these data in a unified triplestore● access/manipulate via a generic GUI● application will be based on OntoWiki

OntoWiki

● A tool for collaborative and distributed knowledge engineering

● Full LinkedData support (publish & pull/query)

● Application framework for semantic web apps

OntoWiki Application Framework

●

OntoWiki ● We are improving the user guidance for the

editor interface to give more support for librarians
