All Mashed Up: the Museum meets the Library.
Public data makes it possible to create new user experiences. Libraries have traditionally had "good data" but we made users come to us to find it. Post-Google, libraries are still expecting users to come to them to get their "good data".
Netscape founder Marc Andreessen promoted the differences between a platform and an application- preferring the former because it could be reprogrammed, repurposed, and adapted freely to meet a variety of user needs and preferences. This difference is related to the creation of APIs, and enables discovery to happen everywhere.
