The research aims to Study the applications of semantic web technologies in catalogs of digital, hybrid libraries and catalogs of public libraries, exploring the main ontologies and conceptual Data models used in the field, and the possibilities of reusing them with Arab libraries, or the need to build new ontologies, studying the necessary steps, tools, and best practices, define the difficulties and challenges facing the Arabic semantic library and searching for possible technical solutions, our experiments target the heterogeneous databases of small, medium or large libraries, considering that some Arabic library catalogs are not following a standard Data Model, to contribute to the research and development of integrating bibliographic data of Arab libraries and moving towards the Semantic web and Linked Open Data.</p>
