Knowledge Discovery and Digital Library Research Group (KnowLib), Lund University

KnowLib is a knowledge discovery and digital library research group from Department of Information Technology, Lund University, Sweden.

KnowLib helps to build quality library services in the electronic environment. It strives to develop integral digital library services as a continuance of existing libraries.

KnowLib focuses on knowledge discovery and development of distributed knowledge organization technologies and information systems. In particular it explores the usability of knowledge organization systems (thesauri, classifications, taxonomies, ontologies, gazetteers) in the digital library context.

In achieving these objectives, KnowLib relies on knowledge from both Library and information science and Computer science. Related knowledge from linguistics, user information behavior and other relevant fields are also integrated.
