NLA announces Library Labs

The [National Library of Australia] has recently opened this "Library Labs" wiki space:

https://wiki.nla.gov.au/display/LABS/Home

The aim of this space is to let our colleagues know what we are doing, to invite comments, questions and feedback and to provide a space for discussion and collaboration.

We have started to redevelop our digital library services using a service-oriented architecture and open source software solutions where these are functional and robust.  We are also aiming to take a common ("single business") approach to collection management, discovery and delivery.

We are interested in forming a community of Australian business analysts and developers who are working on similar problems and who are interested in  interoperable, standards-based solutions. We are also interested in working with colleagues at an international level to provide prototypes and testbeds for new and emerging standards.
