D-Lib Test Suite

Research Program

The D-Lib Test Suite will be used for a wide variety of research. Currently, three categories of research are being supported:

Individual research projects
The test suite and the individual testbeds are available for a wide range of research projects in digital libraries. The aim is to encourage wide use of the testbeds, but there may be some limitations because of resource constraints.

D-Lib Metrics Working Group
The D-Lib Metrics Working Group is developing a number of metrics that can be used for quantitative research in digital libraries. It is anticipated that they will lead to controlled experiments using several of the tesbeds.

Interoperability
The members of the test suite are carrying out experiments in interoperability amongst the testbeds and with other digital libraries.
