The document describes the SEMLIB project which develops semantic web tools for digital libraries. It discusses IN2's ON:meedi:a ecosystem for managing and publishing multimedia documents and Followtheplace, a location-based social network. The SEMLIB extension adds semantic annotations, recommendations, and tag suggestions to Followtheplace using tools like Pundit and SLDR.
