We present the theoretical and methodological foundations for the development of a multi-agent SDI service model for specialized digital libraries, applying semantic web technologies that permit more efficient information management, improving agent-user communication processes and facilitating accurate access to relevant resources. To do this, RSS feeds are used as "current awareness bulletins" to generate personalized bibliographic alerts. The SDI service model has an RSS feeds management module and an information push module. In the first module, resources are represented as RSS feed items and are also semi-automatically assigned subject terms by matching their associated keywords against the terms of a SKOS Core format thesaurus. In the information push module, bibliographic alerts are customized according to the preferences defined on users' profiles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we show that the aggregation of bibliometric indices is an appropriate way to evaluate scientific production of researchers because it allows us to develop much more precise new bibliometric indices that combine the advantages of each index that is aggregated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
