Abstract
In this paper, we report our taxonomy-based notification service for the ASSETS digital library platform, which is being developed in an EU co-funded project. Notification is a very fundamental functionality for every living digital library which is continuously updated and dynamically interacts with users. The ASSETS platform provides a common notification service and its extensions based on the publish/subscribe pattern as a message notification infrastructure. Our taxonomy based notification service is one of those extensions that enables users to define subscriptions for receiving notifications by using a hierarchically organized controlled vocabulary, namely a taxonomy. Through this service, users can easily subscribe to messages about specific domain of their interest with a small number of terms in a taxonomy. Then system can efficiently filter a stream of published messages to deliver notifications to proper subscribers by taking account of the taxonomy. This service works as an important piece for enabling various advanced features in the ASSETS platform such as personalized new item lists and a digital preservation service. In this paper, we show an outline of the ASSETS notification architecture, and give a description about a model for the taxonomy-based notification implemented in our service.
