La richiesta di biblioteche digitali sempre più ricche, capaci di soddisfare le esigenze che insorgono in vari scenari della nostra società dell'informazione, ha fatto emergere sempre più la necessità di costruire tali sistemi basandoli sul riuso e la condivisione dell'esistente. In questo scenario la problematica dell'interoperabilità svolge un ruolo chiave. Nonostante l'importanza di tale problematica e le molteplici iniziative volte a risolverla, si può affermare che i risultati ottenuti sono, in media, limitati. Tra le principali ragioni di questa lenta evoluzione si annoverano la mancanza di un approccio sistematico e la scarsa conoscenza di quanto prodotto nelle varie iniziative. Al fine di rimuovere queste ragioni di lenta evoluzione, il progetto DL.org ha promosso un'iniziativa internazionale con l'obiettivo di studiare il problema dell'interoperabilità nelle sue sfaccettature e produrre un insieme di buone pratiche e soluzioni esistenti all'annoso problema dell'interoperabilità nel dominio delle biblioteche digitali. Questo documento rappresenta, in forma abbreviata, il risultato di questa attività.

Abstract
Interoperability is actually a multi-layered and context-specific concept, which encompasses different levels along a multi-dimensional spectrum ranging from organisational to semantic and technological aspects. DL.org has investigated interoperability from multiple perspectives: content, user, functionality, policy, quality, and architecture. It has also examined interoperability at technical, semantic and organisational levels, all central to powerful Digital Libraries needed in today's context. DL.org is the first initiative to examine interoperability from an all-encompassing perspective by harnessing leading figures in the Digital Library space globally. The output is an innovative Digital Library Technological and Methodological Cookbook with a portfolio of best practices and pattern solutions to common issues faced when developing interoperable digital library systems. A key facet of the Cookbook is the interoperability framework that can be used to systematically characterise diverse facets linked to the interoperability challenge as well as current and emerging solutions and approaches. The Cookbook is designed to facilitate the assessment and selection of the solutions presented, enabling professionals working towards interoperability to define and pursue the different steps involved. This publication presents the Interoperability Framework and discusses interoperability from the perspectives of the content, user, functionality, policy, quality and architecture domains.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
