Key Takeaways
On October 11, 2012, the six DPLA Workstreams, the Steering Committee, and the Board of Directors, along with members of the public, met in a series of breakout sessions and working groups at the Chicago Public Library to discuss the development of both the DPLA platform and the front end user interface, the establishment of the DPLA as an independent non-profit organization, and the launch of the DPLA’s Digital Hubs Pilot Project, among other topics. The goal of these meetings was to chart out agenda items for the next six months of work and beyond, as well as to provide a forum for participants and members of the public to share updates and ideas with one another.
The DPLA Secretariat produced a synthesis of the key takeaways from the day’s discussions, which focused on three major subjects: (1) The future of the DPLA; (2) its technical development; and (3) its content infrastructure and the Digital Hubs Pilot Project.
