Abstract

In this paper we discuss the problem of handling many classification schemes within the context of a single digital library, which we term multischeming. This includes the tasks of representing which category describes an object in the digital library as well as understanding the browsing process which is performed by the user in this setting. We motivate this problem as related to digital library interoperability, and propose an architecture for representation of classification schemes in the digital library which solves it. We also discuss its implementation in the CITIDEL project.
