| Abstract [eng] |
Data are compiled as e-objects that encompass both the descriptive data as well as the metadata on the structure of the e-objects. A full text is added to the e-object if there is a licence agreement with the publishers. LDB stores the texts that have been additionally evaluated by experts before their inclusion in LDB. A special sub-system to mine and visualise the information on citation has been constructed, using the pattern of the Thomson Reuters database, and implemented in the LDB. The reason is that data on the social sciences and humanities, and specifically, research on Lithuanian studies, is not included in the database mentioned above. LDB is supplied with new methods of data mining in the virtual library, dissemination of information using open access protocols and modern WEB technologies. The LDB data compiled over the last nine years is popular with researchers and students in Lithuania and abroad. As a result, LDB is considered to be one of the best research infrastructures for social sciences and humanities involving both librarians and information providers. |
