Holistic Graph-Based Document Representation and Management for Open Science

(Extended Abstract) While most previous research focused only on the textual content of documents, advanced support for document management in Digital Libraries, for Open Science, requires handling all aspects of a document: from structure, to content, to context. These different but inter-related aspects cannot be handled separately, and were traditionally ignored in Digital Libraries. We propose a graph-based unifying representation and handling model based on the definition of an ontology that integrates all the different perspectives and drives the document description in order to boost the effectiveness of document management. We also show how even simple algorithms can profitably use our proposed approach to return relevant and personalized outcomes in different document management tasks.
