Thanks mallikarjuna chenna, I think LIS-FORUM would also be interested in knowing the software being used and availability of the software especially for R&D purposes. I would appreciate if you can educate us this aspect of SOMLIB. Regards Sukhdev

Dear Professionals

SOMLib project we create a digital library system that uses a neural network-based core for library representation and query processing. The self-organizing map, a popular unsupervised neural network model, is used to automatically structure a document collection. Based on this core, additional modules integrate distributed libraries and create an intuitive representation of the library, automatically labeling the various topical sections in the document collection. digital library system supporting intuitive, user friendly browsing of document collections by combining the benefits of conventional library organisation with the possibilities offered by digital collections. It is based on the self-organizing map (SOM), a popular unsupervised neural network, used to organize documents by content into bookshelves. Metaphor graphics facilitate the intuitive representation of the resulting document archive, allowing users to get an instant overview of its content and characteristics.

New: SOMLib goes music!! They extended the principles of the SOMLib system to music archives, allowing you to organize and browse collections of music.
