We present a program to measure the parton densities in the Pomeron using diffractive deep inelastic scattering and diffractive photoproduction, and to test the resulting parton densities by applying them to other processes such as the diffractive production of jets in hadron-hadron collisions. Since QCD factorization has been predicted not to apply to hard diffractive scattering, this program of fitting and using parton densities might be expected to fail. Its success [ital or] [ital failure] will provide useful information on the space-time structure of the Pomeron.
