Stanford University Digital Libraries Project

At the heart of the project at Stanford is the testbed running the InfoBus protocol which provides a uniform way to access a variety of services and information sources through proxies acting as interpreters between the InfoBus protocol (DLIOP) and the native source protocol.

What follows is a list of selected web pages containing useful information and tutorials about InfoBus, its protocol and related projects.

• A introduction to INFOBUS and related projects in Stanford.
• This page contains a postscript file with a tutorial of the INFOBUS architecture and its protocol (DLIOP). This tutorial gives you the main concepts of INFOBUS and it is a brief introduction to programmers who want to use INFOBUS.
• The Stanford Metadata architecture
