It supports a variety of document formats and allows to store and query a rich bibliographic description of each document. To find relevant documents in JeromeDL users can use searching and browsing features. Whole documents content can be searched through, as well as single fields of the documents description, like author or publish year. Users can also find documents by browsing content of subject categories and keywords. With JeromeDL's social and semantic services every library user can bookmark interesting books, articles or other materials in semantically annotated directories. Users can allow others to see their bookmarks and annotations and share their knowledge within a social network. JeromeDL can also treat a single library resource as a blog post. Users can comment the content of the resource and reply to others' comments and this way create new knowledge.

A New Technology
JeromeDL a digital library that deploys Semantic Web technology for user management and search. Its architecture has a special focus on the exploitation of the Semantic Web based metadata (RDF, FOAF, and ontologies). The FOAF vocabulary is used to gather information about user profile management, and semantic descriptions are utilized in the search procedure. JeromeDL is actively deployed in several installations and is continually enhanced with semantic features. JeromeDL is implemented in Java and available under an open-source license.
