An Architecture for Digital Library Information Service in an Ambient Intelligence Environment

Digital library is the national knowledge infrastructure which provides various kinds of information services for promoting knowledge innovation. Ambient Intelligence is a kind of digital intelligence environment, its emergence and development have changed model, dissemination channel and using mechanism of information and brought great opportunities to the development of digital library. In order to satisfy the users' personalized information requirements better in an AmI environment, an architecture for digital library information service is proposed in this paper, which allows individual users to retrieve, access and share information resources more efficiently. The implementation mechanism of the architecture introduced specific service process and explored the potential of the architecture to support future service applications of digital library.
