Abstract :

Objective: This paper describes the emerging semantic-social concepts in digital libraries and explores the potential use of semantic web technologies. Methods: The present study is a qualitative and analytical-explanatory one that uses Michel Foucault's theoretical (paleontological) contexts to evaluate changes in the semantic web domain. Results: The present study, after examining the challenges of semantic web implementation and access to semantic tools and services, demonstrates the benefits of applying standards (RDA and RDF), and thus provides a brief classification of tools and services. Semantic services are provided. In addition, a checklist has been suggested to further evaluate semantic tools, services, and projects. Conclusion: Given that digital libraries will hold a huge amount of future data, As a result, the use of semantic web standards and technologies in digital libraries offers a new level of flexibility, interaction, interoperability and knowledge sharing and enhances their capabilities, so it is necessary to use from semantic web standards and tools. In semantic web a framework will be presented that every subject can be defined according to its special features, also these subjects among a net of communications have a possibility of adding a new or related meaning. Through semantic web, social semantic digital libraries will present a new level of capabilities, increasing cooperation& mutual communication, and sharing knowledge.
