JeromeDL is a Social Semantic Digital Library. As a digital library, it allows institutions to easily publish documents on the Web. 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 rowsing 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.

We are finishing work on the new ontology for JeromeDL. As you all know, it is one of the most important issues before releasing new version of JeromeDL. That's why, we decided to publish the working draft in order to get feedback from outside. Any comments are highly appreciated. You can find links to ontologies and their specifications in the documentation section.

Today a very special presentation of JeromeDL took place at Gdansk University of Technology in Poland. The Main Library at the University conceived an idea of creating a digital library for the whole region. The purpose of the presentation was to invite other libraries to take a part in the project. Pomeranian Digital Library (Pomorska Biblioteka Cyfrowa), as it's the name of the project, would contain more than 100 000 publications including antique books. PBC will be based on JeromeDL. If the proposal will be approved by the local government, the project will get the funding and it will start around June. It looks very promising and all the people look very engaged. I hope everything goes well.

Welcome to the real world. After weeks of preparations, it is time to show our new page. Although many have changed, there is still a lot to do. No more gray colors, its green from now on. Green - the color of life, because JeromeDL project is alive as never before. Version 2.1 is coming out soon, at least I hope so, but it does not only concern the code itself. Our team gets bigger and we are getting more and more feedback from all over the world each day. I would like to invite all of you to visit this page frequently, I promise you won't regret it.
