Overview

The podlake site provides a view into the MARC records collected as part of the POD project. It provides some initial insight into what the participating institutions hold, where they overlap, and how their metadata compares.

But the true goal of the site is to illustrate the types of analyses that can be done with the data. Each visualization has a "Behind this chart" section which contains the SQL query that was used to query the project's data lake, which POD members have full access to.

These figures were compiled from the lake on and are a fixed snapshot: refreshing them means re-running the extract. When each institution last contributed records is a separate date, in the table below. See about the data for the full published surface.
