General information on the research area:
Digital libraries comprise digital information in every medium (text, images, sounds; static and dynamic images) and make the information resources available in distributed networks.

The research field of Digital Libraries is multidisciplinary and extends, enhances, and integrates, the results and experiences from, e.g., information retrieval, librarianship, information systems, database technology, and human-computer interaction. The content of digital libraries include data, metadata that describe various aspects of the persistent information, e.g., its representation, creator, owner, reproduction rights, and metadata consisting of links and relationships to other information objects and other metadata, whether internal or external to the digital library. A digital library offers a set of tools and capabilities to locate, retrieve, and utilize the information resources.
