- Digital Libraries on the Internet. Sharon, Taly Frank, Ariel J. Academic Libraries Classification Comparative Analysis Electronic Libraries Foreign Countries Higher Education Internet Library Services Metadata This paper discusses digital libraries on the Internet. The resource repository hierarchy, consisting of two major paradigms, search engines (SEs) and digital libraries, is presented. SEs are classified into three categories: basic-SE, directory, and meta-SE. The following six major characteristics of a library are summarized: collection of data objects; collection of metadata structures; collection of services; domain focus; quality control; and preservation. Three classifications of libraries are described: the paper/analog library, the automated/hybrid library, and the digital library. Digital libraries are further subdivided into three categories, i.e., stand-alone digital library, federated digital library, and harvested digital library (HDL), and these categories are compared. The harvesting model for HDLs is discussed, and the Katsir HDL, currently being developed at Bar-Ilan University (Israel) is described. Differences between SEs and digital libraries are considered.
