It became evident that libraries needed a technological shift to break from their current working routines and embrace change.

Unter der „Brownschen Molekularbewegung“ versteht man das zufällige Bewegungsbild mikroskopisch kleiner Teilchen, die in einem Medium ständig von umgebenden Molekülen angestoßen werden. Albert Einstein erklärte diese Zusammenhänge zum ersten Mal theoretisch und fand dabei heraus, dass das Bewegungsmuster eines idealisierten Mikroteilchens – entgegen der alltäglichen Erfahrung – nicht von seiner Masse abhängt. Sogar sogenannte „aktive Materie“ – also Teilchen wie Bakterien, die über einen eigenen Antrieb verfügen – sollte sich so verhalten.

Jens Ohlig interviewed Antoine Lamielle, main developer of Lingua Libre, about his project and how it uses Wikibase.
