The Cookbook is designed to facilitate the assessment and selection of the solutions presented. The DL.org Cookbook (April 2011).

The Booklet, distributed at the 1st DL.org Workshop, outlines the main goals of DL.org and the global expertise it is harnessing to address DL interoperability, best practices and reference modelling. The Booklet offers a snapshot on the DELOS DL Reference Model, which DL.org will enhance and consolidate through core technical work and community feedback.

Six expositions are also offered on the six DL domains: architecture, content, functionality, policy, quality and user from each of the project's six Thematic Working Groups.
