Abstract
In recent years, the volume of information available on the internet has grown rapidly, leading to the need for more effective ways to manage and access high-quality content. Much of this reliable and well-structured information is stored in digital libraries, which serve as centralized hubs for organized knowledge. However, despite their usefulness, managing and navigating these vast collections of data continues to present significant challenges. To address these issues, the Semantic Web offers a range of advanced technologies designed to improve the organization, retrieval, and understanding of digital content. The SEKT (Semantically Enabled Knowledge Technologies) project focuses on developing and applying these semantic tools to support the next generation of knowledge management systems. One of the core goals of the project is to examine how these technologies perform in real-world scenarios through detailed case studies. A major objective of this research is to explore how digital libraries can gain substantial benefits from integrating Semantic Web technologies into their systems.
