Apologies for cross-posting... For an update on the developments of Kuali OLE (KOLE), an effort to "to develop the *first system designed by and for academic and research libraries* for managing and delivering intellectual information", please click the link below: http://kualiole.tumblr.com/ On a light note, the first blog post of the new year includes a collection of haiku, with reflections on KOLE and the services it will provide. Following the haiku, you can read more blog posts, including one about the KOLE Document Store: "Designed to be format agnostic, the document store can be configured to accept records from any metadata schema---from MARC to Dublin Core to schemes not yet developed. It will also store and index non-bibliographic data, such as item records or licenses for e-resources. Documents can be structured (e.g. MARC or ONIX-PL) or unstructured (e.g. licenses in PDF or Word). Links between documents can be enabled within OLE (License to order; Bibl. Record to item; etc.) and in the future they plan externally linking perhaps to the LC SKOS records." If you have any questions or comments, feel free to use the "Ask Kuali OLE" link at the top left of the blog.
