ezDL is an open-source IR frontend system supporting proactivity, higher level search activities, the digital library life cycle, and collaboration of searchers. The ezDL framework is based on an extensible, service-oriented architecture, with user clients running on the desktop, in a browser or as a smartphone app. For performing user-centered evaluations, ezDL has a builtin evaluation mode that addresses many of the major challenges inherent in setting up evaluation tasks and tracking user activity during the experiments.
