Log Data in Digital Libraries

This study presents relevant characteristics of library automation systems and digital library systems that need to be taken into account in addressing the study of log data in digital libraries. For all the different categories of users of a digital library system, the quality of services and documents the digital library supplies are very important. Log data constitute a relevant aspect in the evaluation process of the quality of a digital library system and of the quality of interoperability of digital library services. A general approach for the analysis of log data generated in the use of services of digital library systems is introduced.
