| Abstract: | The internet is rapidly becoming the first place for researchers to publish documents, but at present they receive little
support in searching, tracking, analysing or debating concepts in a literature from scholarly perspectives. This paper describes
the design rationale and implementation of ScholOnto, an ontology-based digital library server to support scholarly interpretation and discourse. It enables researchers to describe
and debate via a semantic network the contributions a document makes, and its relationship to the literature. The paper discusses
the computational services that an ontology-based server supports, alternative user interfaces to support interaction with
a large semantic network, usability issues associated with knowledge formalisation, new work practices that could emerge,
and related work.
