What is the POD Data Lake?

The POD Data Lake is an open source system to aggregate MARC bibliographic and holdings data for institutions that participate in the Platform for Open Discovery Initiative. Data providers contribute their data to the Data Lake by uploading data sets, and data consumers download data for downstream use.
