- Abstract
- Digital libraries have historically been used in publication, cultural heritage, and document contexts. Recent trends in scientific fields (e.g., toward eScience) have provided impetus towards the generation of scientific digital libraries. Content producers such as high energy physics instruments and high performance computing simulation systems generate continuous streams of content at a large scale. Research groups in scientific fields require management of summarized datasets, experimentation environments, and findings. Applications from bioinformatics, scientific algorithms, and modeling and simulation contexts provide a representative sample associated with these research groups. Formal definitions of content, users, user requirements, generic services, and science-specific services are produced for each context. The definitions are used to evaluate the coverage and performance of services; provide interoperability between content, systems, and services; and serve as a basis for a service registry. Three digital library implementations serve as case studies from the contexts.
