| Summary: | A knowledge map of digital library (DL) research shows
the semantic organization of DL research topics and
also the evolution of the field. The research reported in
this article aims to find the core topics and subtopics of
DL research in order to build a knowledge map of the DL
domain. The methodology is comprised of a four-step
research process, and two knowledge organization
methods (classification and thesaurus building) were
used. A knowledge map covering 21 core topics and
1,015 subtopics of DL research was created and pro-vides a systematic overview of DL research during the
last two decades (1990–2010). We argue that the map
can work as a knowledge platform to guide, evaluate,
and improve the activities of DL research, education,
and practices. Moreover, it can be transformed into a DL
ontology for various applications. The research method-ology can be used to map any human knowledge
domain; it is a novel and scientific method for producing
comprehensive and systematic knowledge maps based |
