+ Statement
On October 1-2, 2010, leaders from research libraries, foundations, and a variety of cultural institutions gathered in a workshop at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study to discuss how to work together toward the creation of a Digital Public Library of America—that is, an open, distributed network of comprehensive online resources that would draw on the nation’s living heritage from libraries, universities, archives, and museums in order to educate, inform, and empower everyone in the current and future generations.

Code
+ Code All code funded by the DPLA will be free and open source.
All code will be posted to public repositories with version control; regular releases will be issued; the DPLA will accept patches.
The DPLA will try to use existing services and code where possible. Free and open source software is preferred, and the DPLA will move toward a completely free tool chain.
Code and services will not accept any intellectual property (such as patents) that is not licensed royalty-free on a non-discriminatory basis to all users.
As far as possible, the DPLA platform will be open and accessible for others to fork/host/replicate with no discrimination based on use or field of endeavor.
In order to facilitate and maximize interoperability, the DPLA platform will support open standards, including Linked Open Data.
