This document discusses the Christmas Project at KU Leuven. It provides an overview of the services they want to develop, the services they need from partners, and their timeline. Specifically, it mentions developing federated search capabilities, harvesting metadata from different repositories, and interoperability specifications by the end of October. The timeline includes having a first mashup prototype by December 15th and a second iteration by the end of February for user feedback.
