ABSTRACT:
A system, method and computer program product for managing access to and navigating through large-scale information spaces. A digital library is created by maintaining an ontological hierarchy in a database. Content is accessible through links to resources available over a communications network, such as the Internet. Librarians tailor the accessibility of content of the library as well as the view into the library that is presented to their user population to meet the specialized needs of their users. Content available via the library may be privileged according to qualitative feedback from users maintained within the digital library. An exactly-correct server log tracks the traversal of users through the digital library. The functionality of the digital library is accessible via an application program interface.
