DPLA Collection Achievements and Profiles SystemDigital Public Library of America Beta Sprint Proposal

Tito Sierra, Jason Ronallo, and Steven MorrisDPLA Plenary Meeting

October 21, 2011

The Context

Lots of cultural heritage content is already available online, and more content is

coming online every day.

The Problem

Unfortunately, much of this distributed content is poorly discoverable and underutilized by the general public.

The Proposal

Build something like a LinkedIn profile for every special library, archive, and museum collection in the country.

A platform that simplifies cross-collection aggregation and interoperability.

Summary

DPLA as a networking platform that helps cultural orgs maximize the

discovery and use of their content.
