Library Data Platform (LDP) - Open Source Data Analytics Platform

The Library Data Platform, or LDP, brings simple yet state-of-the-art analytics capabilities to libraries. It is the first scalable analytics platform designed specifically for libraries that is 100% community owned, open source, and free of vendor lock-in.

At the heart of LDP is Metadb, a configurable, flexible and powerful system that can integrate data from multiple systems and multiple subdomains of library data. It supports SQL analytics and has been designed to work with popular tools for customizable, cross-domain reporting, visualizations, and dashboards.
