What is this system competing with? Regular ILSs like Polaris? Overdrive/Libby? Google Books? All of the above? I see a lot of buzzwords but I'm not clear what Lyrasis thinks they're replacing.
Very good questions. The DPLA is useful but not a substitute so far for Overdrive. My university just changed to a new one..ALMA. I expect there will be a lot of announcements about this soon but so far just a few low level notes in trade journals.

This looks like a great project. I hope it gets lots of publicity.
