In this paper we present Talia, a novel implementation of a semantic digital web library system, which is part of the Discovery project. Talia deploys Semantic Web technologies and uses computational ontologies for the organisation of knowledge, which can help the denition of a state-of-the-art research and publishing environment for philosophy. Talia will provide an innovative and exible system which enables data interoperability and new paradigms for information enrichment, data-retrieval and navigation.
