The article presents an approach for the application of digital libraries, including a network of ontologies and structured databases in the education of school students in literature, history, geography and biology. The general architecture of a multi-agent platform based on the reference framework of the ViPS (Virtual Physical Space) system, which is being developed in the DeLC Laboratory of the Plovdiv University Paisii Hilendarski“, will be considered. The information and data in this platform are maintained by a hybrid structure of ontologies and databases, with the designed services maintained by intelligent agents and personal assistants. Through interaction between these intelligent components, functionalities are modelled, such as: conducting virtual tours in the teaching of different subjects; automatic generation of questionnaires, tests and surveys; development of project assignments; game-based learning; group assignments, etc. These functionalities and services are aimed at classroom training as well as interest clubs.

The article discusses the application of digital libraries, including a network of ontologies and structured databases, in the education of students in secondary schools. The multi-agent platform of VES (the Virtual Educational Space) is presented, based on the reference architecture of ViPS (the Virtual Physical Space), which is being developed in the DeLC (the Distributed e-Learning Center) laboratory of the University of Plovdiv “Paisii Hilendarski”. The information and data in VES are supported by a hybrid structure of ontologies and databases, as the designed services are supported by intelligent agents and personal assistants. Through the interaction between these intelligent components, some functionalities are modeled such as conducting virtual excursions in the teaching of various school subjects, automatic generation of tests and surveys, development of project tasks, game-based training, etc.

Intelligent Irrigation

<abstract> <p>One of the major challenges that smart agriculture is expected to address is the efficient use of water resources. The conservation and the efficient use of clean water is a long-term strategy worldwide. Modeling of smart agriculture systems is an important factor because the processes there are very slow and sometimes it takes a year or more for a full crop cycle. At the same time, a large amount of data is usually needed to make informed decisions. This determines the importance of developing appropriate systems through which to simulate, generate, optimize and analyze various possible scenarios and prepare appropriate plans. In this paper, an infrastructure known as Virtual-Physical Space adapted for agriculture is presented. The space supports integration of the virtual and physical worlds where analysis and decision making are done in the virtual environment and the state of the physical objects (things) of interest is also taken into account at the same time. Special attention is paid to the possibilities for modeling an irrigation system. An ambient-oriented approach has been adopted, using the Calculus of Context-aware Ambients formalism as the basic tool for modeling agriculture processes. Furthermore, the supporting platform is briefly presented. Active components of the platform are implemented as intelligent agents known as assistants. Users (agriculture operators) are serviced by personal assistants. Currently, the presented modeling system is deployed over a two layered system infrastructure in the region of Plovdiv city. Plovdiv is the center of vegetable production in Bulgaria. The process of modeling intelligent irrigation systems and the current results are discussed in this paper.</p> </abstract>

The design and development of a digital library involves different stakeholders, such as: information architects, librarians, and domain experts, who need to agree on a common language to describe, discuss, and negotiate the services the library has to offer. To this end, high-level, language-neutral models have to be devised. Metamodeling techniques favor the definition of domainspecific visual languages through which stakeholders can share their views and directly manipulate representations of the domain entities. This paper describes CRADLE (Cooperative-Relational Approach to Digital Library Environments), a metamodel-based framework and visual language for the definition of notions and services related to the development of digital libraries. A collection of tools allows the automatic generation of several services, defined with the CRADLE visual language, and of the graphical user interfaces providing access to them for the final user. The effectiveness of the approach is illustrated by presenting digital libraries generated with CRADLE, while the CRADLE environment has been evaluated by using the cognitive dimensions framework.

A variety of approaches have been proposed for teaching several volleyball techniques to beginners, ranging from general ball familiarization to model-oriented repetition to highly variable learning. This study compared the effects of acquiring three volleyball techniques in parallel with three approaches. Female secondary school students (N = 42; 15.6 ± 0.54 years) participated in a pretest for three different volleyball techniques (underhand pass, overhand pass, and overhead serve) with an emphasis on accuracy. Based on their results, they were parallelized into three practice protocols, a repetitive learning group (RG), a differential learning group (DG), and a control group (CG). After a period of six weeks with 12 intervention sessions, all participants attended a posttest. An additional retention test after two weeks revealed a statistically significant difference between DG, RG, and CG for all single techniques as well as the combined multiple technique. In each technique—the overhand pass, the underhand pass, the overhand service, and the combination of the three techniques—DG performed best (each p < 0.001).

Library Evaluation

This chapter gives an overview of digital library topics: digital libraries and information architecture; digital libraries and electronic learning (e-learning); digital libraries and the Semantic Web; digital library evaluation; digital libraries and service quality; and the significance of digital libraries in the digital age. The Internet and the World Wide Web provide the impetus and technological environment for the development and operation of digital libraries in the digital age. Digital libraries comprise digital collections, services, and infrastructure to educationally support the lifelong learning, research, and conservation of the recorded knowledge. Whereas traditional libraries are limited by storage space, digital libraries have the potential to effectively store much more information and documents, because digital information requires very little physical space to contain them. Encouraging digital libraries has the potential to improve academic library performance and gain educational goals in the digital age.
