Infrastructure: OCLC Product Strategy
Open and Extensible Platform built on an extended view of
WorldCat.
• “Open” – 3rd-party systems can make use of core services in a supplier-neutral manner –supporting the widest possible reach of the co-operative and use of the platform.• Extensible” – users, third-party suppliers and the library development community can add services and applications – fostering collective innovation.• “Extended View of WorldCat” – the collection of databases that represent data for purchased, licensed and digital content, exposed through a rich range of network-level data services.
