  3. “The software industry is in the midst of a quiet but dramatic revolution. The implications of this revolution – increased innovation, new business models, technology discontinuities, and global capability shifts – could be even more profound than previous industry transitions”.

  4. “Many innovations, collectively termed Web 2.0, will fully reach the enterprise – as in previous cycles, innovation developed for individual users will translate into substantial enterprise opportunities”.

  5. So what has this to do with libraries?

  27. Platform Sharing a Platform

  28. Nurture a community • Liberate (and aggregate) data • Develop common standards • Unleash innovation • Reduce costs

  29. A platform for “loosely coupled components”
