Digital Library Grid : A Roadmap to Next Generation Digital Libraries Using Grid Technologies

Abstract

In the current scenario, data is increasing rapidly. Chunks of data is being accumulated resulting in knowledge generation. Access to global literature, books, articles require efficient data management and querying techniques. The consequences associated are requirements of very large storage resources, complex queries, interoperability and scalability across global environment. The Integration of grid, data grid, digital library solves various issues related to the upcoming globalization of digital libraries. In this paper, we propose a Grid based digital library concept and examine the synergies between these data management systems, which would help in future evolution of digital libraries.
