Managing Research Data

It is becoming a common practice to publish data generated in research projects along with the results derived from the data. As more and more datasets are published, the digital library of the future needs an effective solution for managing repositories of both documents and datasets. Academic libraries may soon be expected to manage and provide access to research data in addition to books and periodicals. The technological needs of such a research data service suggest a model based on the use of semantic linking using the constructs of ontology, on top of data represented in the form of Linked Open Datasets.
