Abstract: Current research on digital libraries (DL) is mostly focused on the generation of large collections of multimedia resources and regular tools for their indexing and retrieval. However, digital libraries should provide more than advanced content maintenance and retrieval services. They should aid the users in their content observation, knowledge acquisition and better satisfying their needs, interests and wishes. This paper presents an extension of the current DL functionality with content analyzing services. The main goal is to reach implicit and hidden data, content, rules and facts, dependences and tendencies, valid for the content in the DL repository, to synthesize and summarize the collected data in order to use them in various investigations and learning. These services also observe the DL tracking services’ output and provide different inferences for the frequency of service usage, failed requests, user logs and activities, etc., assisting the DL environment maintenance through the generation of inferences about its stability, flexibility, and reliability. This interpretation of DL analyzing services is not proposed and analyzed until now. We try to push up a new research point, aiming to aid user’s work in the DL environment.
