Amazon built X-Ray using its expertise in language processing and machine learning, access to significant storage and computing resources with Amazon S3 and EC2, and a deep library of book and character information.
The outcomes of awareness campaigns may in turn be shared with others through the International Information Literacy Resources Directory recently launched by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and UNESCO.
Before that, I co-founded the Library of International Trade Resources (LITR), a consulting firm providing interactive information access and international trade consulting.
Mr Davies said when completed the new library would have an "excellent collection of books, electronic resources", information technology, WiFI access and learning and meeting rooms.
