The DKH offers a centralized digital repository, which includes all the digital knowledge outputs
generated by more than 25 government organizations and departments in Dubai. It acts as a
comprehensive collection portal of annual reports, guidelines, and yearbooks produced by these
institutions, ultimately reducing the cost of creating a separate digital repository. Through these
efforts, the platform contributes towards the conservation and maintenance services for the
digital memory of these entities without any additional costs. It further enables the Dubai
Government to reduce extra expenditure and effectively leverage available resources, resulting
in enhanced efficiency and productivity that save time and effort. Besides, it aids users to
seamlessly explore various digital content of these institutions and the government while
accessing it through global search engines. Through this move, the hub will be able to boost the
presence of these institutions in the digital space and raise their contributions to various content
in the digital landscape.
Unique approach for a beneficial and enjoyable reading experience:
The DKH has crafted a new method to study and analyze the behavior of beneficiaries through
the launch of a new reading synchronization interface. The advanced tools offer users different
choices, which enables them to conduct a smart and thorough analysis of knowledge trends and
preferences of the readers.
The specialized libraries included in the platform have comprehensive knowledge maps that
direct to various fields of knowledge in the form of clouds of keywords and grouped words.
These clouds showcase the knowledge structure of each element as well as the quality and
availability of each content within different fields of the library’s knowledge map. This feature
enables users to understand the quantity and diversity of sources across various knowledge
domains, making it easier to recognize terminology structures. Additionally, it helps publishing
houses and knowledge production institutes to understand the entire knowledge representation
and map of every industry, as well as identify any knowledge gaps in their libraries. By
concentrating on publications based on demands and usage statistics, these institutions can
subsequently address these gaps.
An open digital horizon toward limitless knowledge:
The DKH’s role goes beyond just being an open knowledge platform. For Arab institutions, it
offers a comprehensive solution for building developed digital libraries, substantial knowledge
repositories, and safe digital archives. Furthermore, it stands as the perfect tool for adapting
digital solution technologies to the Arab World, meeting the needs of Arab students and
institutions alike.
