“…Khan and Bhatti (2018) have conducted a survey of the perceptions of university librarians and academicians in Pakistan about the usefulness of the Semantic Web for digital libraries. Because the Semantic Web enhances the ability of computers to search databases by using artificial intelligence and fuzzy logic, respondents were asked specifically about artificial intelligence software agents.…”

The main purpose of this paper is to assess and examine the possible application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in Pakistani academic libraries, particularly those areas of library technical and library user services where AI could be applied in the near future. A secondary purpose is to bring the library perspective on AI to the forefront of the scholarly world. This is a self-exploratory study, in which a qualitative approach interview has been conducted with 10 chief librarians/library heads (5 public + 5 private sectors) from universities regarding their views on the adoption of artificial intelligence tools in Pakistani academic libraries. Results are tabulated in a descriptive format. Librarians are aware of AI technologies. Services based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) are used in libraries, e.g. Google Assistant, Voice Searching, and Google Translate. Pattern recognition methods, such as text data mining, are also used to retrieve library material and conduct online searching. Big data is accessed via services such as cloud computing, OneDrive, and Google Drive. There is a very low level of awareness of robotics and chatbots. This study provides librarians with suggestions as to how AI tools could be used in libraries which either have yet to adopt AI technologies or wish to implement more advanced tools. Pakistani library schools could collaborate with computer science departments to establish AI Labs in the respective library and information science (LIS) departments/libraries. AI challenges funding and technological skills are the key problem to implement with AI in the University Libraries.

“…Warraich and Rorissa (2020) studied a developing country (Pakistan), finding that the lack of awareness and skills among information professionals and non-compatibility of traditional cataloguing standards with LD pose barriers to its implementation. Some studies (Khan and Bhatti, 2018;Park and Tosaka, 2017) suggested that training and continuing education are essential to promoting LD initiatives in libraries. In short, LD is becoming increasingly popular and used in the LAM community.…”

“…In the LAM community, Semantic Web has become a topic of considerable interest, especially in the development of digital libraries. Khan and Bhatti (2018) found great benefits in digital libraries developing semantic relationships among digital content and increasing their accessibility to the Web environment. The study also recommended that librarians learn the use of ontology-based applications, such as ontology editing tools.…”

Purpose This study aims to develop a Web-based application system called Infomediary of Taiwanese Indigenous Peoples (ITIP) that can help individuals comprehend the society and culture of indigenous people. The ITIP is based on the use of Semantic Web technologies to integrate a number of data sources, particularly including the bibliographic records of a museum. Moreover, an ontology model was developed to help users search cultural collections by topic concepts. Design/methodology/approach Two issues were identified that needed to be addressed: the integration of heterogeneous data sources and semantic-based information retrieval. Two corresponding methods were proposed: SPARQL federated queries were designed for data integration across the Web and ontology-driven queries were designed to semantically search by knowledge inference. Furthermore, to help users perform searches easily, three searching interfaces, namely, ethnicity, region and topic, were developed to take full advantage of the content available on the Web. Findings Most open government data provides structured but non-resource description framework data, Semantic Web consumers, therefore, require additional data conversion before the data can be used. On the other hand, although the library, archive and museum (LAM) community has produced some emerging linked data, very few data sets are released to the general public as open data. The Semantic Web’s vision of “web of data” remains challenging. Originality/value This study developed data integration from various institutions, including those of the LAM community. The development was conducted based on the mode of non-institution members (i.e. institutional outsiders). The challenges encountered included uncertain data quality and the absence of institutional participation.

“…Moreover, they discussed the future challenges and introduced their vision on how MAS and BCT could be combined in different application scenarios. Khan and Bhatti [19] aimed to test the use of semantic web technologies for digital libraries. They also investigated the conceptions of university academicians and librarians in Pakistan in relation to semantic web technologies and their uses in digital libraries.…”

Global services with an agent or a multi-agent system are a promising and new research area. However, several measures have been proposed to demonstrate the benefits of agent technology by supporting distributed services and applying smart agent technology in web dynamics. This paper is designed to build a Semantic Web on the World Wide Web (WWW) to enhance the productivity of managing electronic library applications, which poses a problem to researchers and students, represnted by the process of exchanging books from e-libraries, where the process is slow or the library needs large system data.
