  15. Technical engineering • Similar technology profile as described by Wake Forest • REPOX & OAI • Guidance from community of developers and DPLA staff • Shared technology experience Missouri specifics: Path of least resistance • Aggregator will be a silent utility without UI at startup • OAI as minimum entry today • More onramps to come
