Our concept of the Open Source Platform
• Multi-tenant, cloud-ready, built around an open knowledge base, linked data, electronic and print resource management
• Can be hosted by commercial vendors, library networks, or locally
• Apache 2 license: Everyone can play
• Design for community engagement
• Modular – snap-in modules (apps) can be contributed by libraries or vendor
