On June 14, 2011, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, in conjunction with the Open Knowledge Commons and with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, convened a small working group meeting at the Associate Librarian for Library Services Office at the Library of Congress to begin to make recommendations for the overall technical architecture of a DPLA and to converge on a set of key technical principles upon which the DPLA will be built. The goal of the meeting was to surface and identify concrete insights, including areas for future research; development and policy proposals; and other tangible outcomes.
The workshop explored existing technologies as possible components or platforms for DPLA; mapped out key decisions that will be foundational to DPLA’s technical architecture; and explored how best to integrate the results of the ongoing Beta Sprint into future technical development.
A followup workshop was held with representatives from a number of Beta Sprint teams in December.
