“…The application program can read any DL log file which contains date and time stamp, user identification number, and document identifier. At present we convert the Open Video log to an internal format, but future versions may apply proposed standards (Goncalves et al, 2002) or (Van de Sompel et al, 2003).…”

“…An XML-based format for the representation of Digital Library usage data was proposed by Goncalves (2002) [11], and a log archive was created to which usage logs could be posted, and later, downloaded. Unfortunately, neither the proposed format nor the log archive have been widely adopted.…”

Although recording of usage data is common in scholarly information services, its exploitation for the creation of valueadded services remains limited due to concerns regarding, among others, user privacy, data validity, and the lack of accepted standards for the representation, sharing and aggregation of usage data. This paper presents a technical, standards-based architecture for sharing usage information, which we have designed and implemented. In this architecture, OpenURL-compliant linking servers aggregate usage information of a specific user community as it navigates the distributed information environment that it has access to. This usage information is made OAI-PMH harvestable so that usage information exposed by many linking servers can be aggregated to facilitate the creation of value-added services with a reach beyond that of a single community or a single information service. This paper also discusses issues that were encountered when implementing the proposed approach, and it presents preliminary results obtained from analyzing a usage data set containing about 3,500,000 requests aggregated by a federation of linking servers at the California State University system over a 20 month period.

“…Currently in alpha stages, investigations have been initiated into the componentisation of XML Logging for Digital Libraries, using a standard developed at Virginia Tech (Gonçalves, et al, 2002). This component will allow logging of higher-level information than traditional Web server logs using the common log format (Luotonen, 1995), and enable detailed logging about services and users, including click stream analysis.…”

Metadata harvesting has been established by the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) as a viable mechanism for connecting a provider of data to a purveyor of services. The Open Digital Library (ODL) model is an emerging framework which attempts to break up the services into appropriate components based also on the basic philosophy of the OAI model. This framework has been applied to various projects and evaluated for its simplicity, extensibility and reusability to support the hypothesis that digital libraries (DLs) should be built from simple Web Service-like components instead of as monolithic software applications.
