Conclusions: The Future of Semantic Digital Libraries

Through out this book we showed that Semantic Digital Libraries are no longer an abstract concept; we have presented both underlying technologies, examples of semantic digital libraries, and their applications. However, the bright future of this technology only begins, and we expect more and more genuine applications of semantic digital libraries to emerge. In this section we will spotlight on three of, in our opinion, the most promising fields of applications: semantic museums, eLearning 2.0, and semantic digital libraries in enterprises.
