【 摘 要 】

Talia is a web-based distributed digital library and publishing system, designed for scholarly research in philosophy. Talia is based on semantic web technology; it's being developed with the Ruby on Rails web framework.Rails is a relatively new environment, which allows developers to easily create well-structured web applications. By combining its power with semantic web technology and leveraging on existing solutions like ActiveRDF, it is possible to quickly create a full-featured semantic library platform, from scratch, in a short time.Talia does not aim at creating new semantic web technology as such, but at providing practical solutions for embedding the existing technology in modern web applications.This paper focuses on a few select features of Talia to show the possibilities.
