The National Library of Australia has set up Library Labs:

> The aim of this wiki space, which we are calling **Library Labs**, is to let our friends and colleagues know what we are doing, to invite comments, questions and feedback and to provide a space for discussion and collaboration.
> 
> We are particularly interested in forming a community of Australian business analysts and developers who are working on similar problems and who are interested in interoperable, standards-based solutions that can foster the development of a national information infrastructure. We are also interested in working with colleagues at an international level to provide prototypes and testbeds for new and emerging standards.
> 
> \[[Home – Library Labs – National Library of Australia wiki](https://wiki.nla.gov.au/display/LABS/Home?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\] 

There are links to strategy documents and to prototypes.
