Abstract:
The future scenario in which libraries will work will see an increasing
centrality of the Internet and of services provided through it, in order to
meet the needs of physical and virtual users, which remotely access the library.
SoSeBi srl, an innovative company located in Sardinia (Italy), and the Department
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Dipartimento di Ingegneria
Elettrica ed Elettronica, DIEE) of the University of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) intend
to create a product at the forefront of the evolution of an ever-expanding
sector, Information Retrieval, where general-purpose products like search engines,
digital archives and social networks are competing. These products are,
and will continue to be, a significant presence in our digital lives. Therefore,
the objective of this research project is to create a software that responds to the
users' tastes, that encompasses the Web 2.0 paradigms, and that is in close contact
with technology innovation.
