What is the POD Aggregator? What is the POD Data Lake?

The POD Aggregator is an open source system to aggregate MARC bibliographic and holdings data for institutions that participate in the Platform for Open Data (POD) initiative. The data sets managed by the aggregator are known collectively as the POD Data Lake. Data providers contribute their data to the POD Aggregator's Data Lake by uploading data sets, and data consumers download data for downstream use.
