The '''nLab''' is a collaborative [[wiki]].  It grew out of the desire ([https://Golem.ph.UTexas.edu/category/2007/09/towards_a_higherdimensional_wi.html I], [https://Golem.ph.UTexas.edu/category/2008/11/beyond_the_blog.html II]) to have a place for development (the “Lab” in “nLab”) and indexed archives of the ideas and concepts surrounding the discussions at the [https://Golem.ph.UTexas.edu/category/ The n-Category Café].  These discussions primarily are about {{tag|math}}ematics, {{tag|physics}} and {{tag|philosophy}} from the perspective of category theory and higher category theory (the “n” in “nLab” and nPOV).

The nLab was created in November {{tag|FoundedIn2008|2008}} using software provided and set up by Jacques Distler.  The name “nLab” (short for “n-Category Lab”, but perhaps less restrictive) was dreamt up by Lisa Raphals (John Baez‘s wife).
