It Is the Time for the Digital Library to Meet the Enterprise Architecture

José Borbinha

Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to raise arguments to support the proposal that we should promote the discussion of the Digital Library in a structured way, aligned with the emerging perspective of the Enterprise Architecture. In this sense, the Digital Library practitioners should be motivated to give more emphasis to the need to better integrate its efforts and body of knowledge with the more generic area of Information Systems, where important concepts, regulations and good practices have been emerging, defined by authorities, the industry and the multiple stockholders of each specific scenario. Concluding, it is time for the Digital Library to mature by recognizing that it is, simply, a case of an Information System, which is specific only in what concerns the requirements derived of its specific business goals.
