Abstract :
Expandability is one of the main requirements of future digital libraries. We introduce a digital library service system, OpenDLib, that has been designed to be highly expandable in terms of content, services and usage. We illustrate the mechanisms that enable expandability and discuss their impact on the development of the system architecture.
