Abstract
There is a growing need to digitize and automate the available data in the world and make it available through a digital library. But, the conventional methods of storage and retrieval of data in the form of logical data structure of a database management (DBMS) cannot totally satisfy the requirements for a conceptual definition of data, because it is limited in scope and biased toward the implementation strategy employed by the DBMS. Therefore, the need to define data from a conceptual view has led to the development of semantic data modelling techniques. That is, techniques to define the meaning of data within the context of its interrelationships with other data. The current model of Digital Libraries only allows users to query each digital library system separately. It is therefore desirable to provide a mechanism to foster interoperability between digital libraries. This mechanism would allow users to conduct searches across all systems with just one query. The paper explains issues regarding interoperability of digital libraries using semantic approach utilizing metadata and also proposes a model to achieve ontology based interoperability across digital libraries
