We don't need a German Digital Library. There is already a Global Digital Library, so "GDL" is already taken as a trademark, sorry (ok, the German version uses DDB as label): "the net".
"Do you know what I think they major problem is? Lack of knowledge management. No idea about digital persistent identification. No subject-centricity. No understanding of semantics in data modeling. No clue about ontologies, inferencing, guides by analogy, no real
knowledge about collection management ( ... wait for it ... ) with multiple hooks and identities, no serious *want* to learn these things, and definitly no budget if they did."
