Knowledge-based editing and visualization for hypermedia encyclopedias

One of the main goals in developing digital libraries is to provide users with opportunities for accessing and using information in highly flexible and user-oriented ways not available in current information repositories. This implies a focus on supporting the intellectual access to information and to consider the context of the information request. Systems for digital libraries should be able to select the appropriate type and amount of information from a comprehensive pool and compose it on the fly for a meaningful and coherent presentation which might have never occurred before or never will again after this event because it is customized to the current situation.
