Welcome to SBB Lab!

The digital transformation has been creating formidable challenges for research libraries for some time now – reason enough for us to continually expand and improve our services. Some of our activities have focused on selecting data sets from our digital collections and presenting them, along with a few innovative applications and prototypes, on an experimental lab platform. You can read about what motivated us to set up the SBB-Lab in the SBB-Blog.

The SBB Lab includes

• data for free download
• demos to experiment with
• events to participate in
• contact information for questions concerning specific data sets

We would like to invite you to interact with our data in a creative fashion – and we are curious to see the results you will come up with. Please tell us what you are doing with our data – and we will be happy to present your applications here.

Since most of the data presented here come from research and development contexts, we cannot rule out changes in functionality, or a certain degree of instability – please do feel free to tell us if you notice things we can improve or correct.
