Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the main opportunities and challenges related to the introduction of mobile technologies.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors present an ongoing project in which they are connecting these materials in new services and open ways. The authors outline two paradigms for using mobile technologies as information tools and discuss the main opportunities and challenges related to the introduction of mobile technologies in the library, as well as the likely usage scenarios.
Findings
The authors found that the mobile as storage paradigm is the one presenting more opportunities to explore. This paradigm can be used to turn any passive document into an interactive object and provide the user with enriched documents and collections.
Originality/value
The paper is the result of a collaboration between library experts and a cognitive science research laboratory. The opportunities and limits of using mobile technologies to create new services in libraries is discussed both from the point of view of library services and from the point of view of users, cognitive abilities.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to offer an example of how ontology, such as CIDOC, can be turned into a format from the perspective of an object. In fact, it illustrates the possible semantic analysis of an object description into a view neutral machine‐interpretable form. The aim is to show that a museum object located in a museum can be described in detail and then related to other information objects located in other memory institutions such as libraries and archives.
Design/methodology/approach
Studying different documents, all the information about Imam Reza's Zarih 4th was derivated. Then the most important were listed and represented in detail, according to CIDOC CRM entities.
Findings
The figures explicitly reveal the existing semantic correlations between the heterogeneous cultural heritage information in various memory institutions, such as Organization of Libraries, Museums and Documents Centre of Astan Quds Razavi.
Originality/value
The authors capture the knowledge from different resources and relate them in a semantic description with the aid of a semantic conceptual model like CIDOC CRM, to show more effective information integration in a cultural institution such as Organization of Libraries, Museums and Documents Centre of Astan Quds Razavi, in order to provide unified access to collection‐level information.
