Peter is correct, FOLIO is the project / platform and OLE is the organized community of libraries within the Collaboration producing FOLIO. The other current partners investing in FOLIO is EBSCO and Index Data. A formal Foundation is in the works, but not yet finalized (paperwork, legal approved, etc). I would be happy to answer any questions about OLE as it pertains to FOLIO and this new Collaboration.
