Abstract:
Managing the digital contents is a generic problem. Digital contents can include
anything from business logic (rules, procedures, standards, specifications,communications etc.) and business transactions to digital books, video and images (digital library) gathered for the purposes of reading, viewing, listening, study and
reference. Thus digital library can be called a subset of digital contents. The complexity
of managing them is directly proportional to the volume, location and type of contents.
Storage technology is advancing and access technology is undergoing changes in terms
of hardware and software. The technical challenges in managing and servicing a digital
library, have been presented here. Numerous examples have also been given to elaborate
the ideas.
