Semantic Web, Library 3.0 and Library Mashup - The emerging technologies to integrate contents and services in order to provide innovative services to the users

Abstract

When technology developed by researchers, scientists or developers then the users tried to apply that technology in every aspect of necessity. Such way technological advancement and development brought about and groundbreaking changes and revolution in the world of libraries. It enables library to go beyond the conventional walls. Nowadays, in the world of library the concept of web 3.0 is being used successfully. From a list of web 3.0 gifts we selected here three web based application like semantic web, library 3.0 and library mashups. Semantic web technology is to provide a better retrieval of precise information. Library 3.0 is the result of integration of all Web 3.0 facilities into the library and information science. Library Mashup enables library to mix up various content from different sources to make a new one to serve its users. These three technologies are not only to serve library users with information but also to share them in a wider range. This study is going to present the applications of those technologies in libraries.
