Meta- Analysis of Studies in the Field of Usability of Library Information Storage and Retrieval System based on Semantic Web Technologies

The purpose of this study is to meta- analysis studies in the field of the usability of library information storage and retrieval system based on the use of semantic web technologies. The method of the present study is qualitative based on the approach. This research has been done in two stages. In the first stage, to identify and evaluate the application of semantic web technologies in the library system; related information sources were identified and collected in Persian and Latin databases. The result of the first stage of the research is 125 related sources of information including: articles in journals, conferences, and dissertations English and Persian. In the second stage of the research, the content analysis of the texts obtained from the first stage based on three indicators of storage, search, and semantic retrieval has been done using MAXQDA software. The result of content analysis led to the identification of how semantic web technologies are used in the library system and their frequency of use. Content analysis of the texts showed that in the indexes of storage and semantic search, RDF technologies with 50%, Ontology with 25%, Linked Data with 20%, and SKOS with 4%; And in the Semantic Retrieval Index, Link Data technologies and FOAF. They are usable with 20% and 2%, respectively. In this study, the content analysis of texts led to a comprehensive view of the application of semantic web technologies in the organization and OPAC sections of the library system. Therefore, the use of semantic web technologies in the library system; Leads to the selection, display, reference, and semantic use of data and information resources of the internal and external library resources and increases the usability of the library system.
