Hi everyone, I'm currently in the final year of my Information & Library Studies degree programme based at Loughborough University. For my dissertation I'm exploring the impact of XML/RDF on digital libraries. I would greatly appreciate any responses to the questions below or general thoughts on the subject of Resource Description Framework and digital libraries. 1) What do you consider to be the key trends in digital library development in terms of metadata and resource description. In what way will RDF play a part in this development? 2) What is an 'intelligent' search, and will RDF enable intelligent searches of digital collections? 3) If RDF becomes a widely accepted standard will the skills of librarians still be important in digital library development or will its future development become the task of the artificial intelligence fraternity? 4) Do you foresee any barriers to this acceptance. Are there any limitations to the RDF model? Many thanks, Simon Jones Room 7, Block E3 Eggington Court, Loughborough University Loughborough, Leicestershire LE11 3UF, United Kingdom.
