Title
DL-COTF: an XML based digital library for U. S. Navy's operational test and evaluation force
Abstract
This paper describes the development of the XML based digital library (DL-COTF) for the United States Navy's operational test and evaluation command (COMOPTEVFOR). COMOPTEVOR tests new systems (weapons, ships, aircraft, etc.) that industry develops and dependent upon test results, the Navy purchases. Each development spans several years and has a large number of documents in various formats. These related documents that all belong to a specific program are required to be available electronically to aid workflow, provide controlled dissemination, facilitate document discovery, and ensure achieves are maintained as personnel leave the organization. As a solution we have developed XMLCOT, an XML based language, to describe the family of files related to a specific programs as digital objects with a complex structure. The search tools to permit secondary users to find specific the files, retrieve them and simultaneously view the storage structure that provides addition meaning also use the same structure. To support interoperability with other digital libraries, the DL-COTF will present its metadata in compliance with the Open Archive Initiative (OAI). A key feature of this digital library environment is its ability to publish, search (discovery), navigate the complex digital objects and dynamically tailor the objects structure within the digital library.
