Midgard is an open source persistent storage framework. It provides an object-oriented and replicated environment for building data-intensive applications[2].

Midgard also ships with MidCOM content management system (CMS) built on the Midgard framework[3][4]. MidCOM's features include web-based authoring WYSIWYG interfaces and a component interface for installing additional web functionalities[5], including wikis[6] and blogs[7].

Midgard is built on the GNOME stack of libraries like GLib and libgda, and has language bindings for C, Python, Objective-C and PHP[8][9]. Communications between applications written in the different languages happen over D-Bus[10]. The CMS functionalities run on the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) platform[11].

The project follows the synchronized, 6 month release cycle that is implemented by several major open source projects like Ubuntu and GNOME[12][13]. Because of this, the version numbering reflects to year and month of a release. The version 8.09 Ragnaroek has been designated as a "Long Term Support" release[14].

Especially the templating and page composition features of Midgard have received praise, earning honorary mentions in several CMS Watch surveys[15][16][17][18]. It also got score of 42 out of 45 in the Celebrity CMS Deathmatch of 2009[19]

Etymology

The name Midgard comes from Nordic mythology, meaning Middle earth, the world of humans. Most of the Midgard developer community comes from the Baltic region,[20][21] and the project has been referred by CMS Watch as the Hanseatic League of Content Management[22].

History

Midgard Project was started in early 1998 by Jukka Zitting and Henri Bergius for a Finnish historical reenactment organization —Harmaasudet— as a system for them to publish their material online.[23][24]

Since the organization didn't have resources to maintain a large development project by itself, the open source model was chosen for creating a community of contributors to the system[25]. The version 1.0 of Midgard was released to the public on May 8, 1999[26]. It attracted a steady stream of users, and the development project flourished despite quite primitive early user interfaces[27][28].

Commercial services for the platform started to appear in early 2000. One of the first adopters was Envida, a Dutch company that realized the potential of Midgard for Web hosting purposes. First proprietary application for the platform was Hong Kong Linux Center (HKLC) Nadmin Studio content management system[29][30].

In early 2000s, Midgard developers participated actively in OSCOM[31], the collaborative organization for open source content management systems. This included development of shared content editing clients like Twingle[32][33][34] and tutorials in various conferences[35]. Midgard also featured in F.U.D., the Wyona Pictures documentary about OSCOM[36].

First application not connected with content management was Nemein.Net, a Professional Services Automation application released in 2002 by Nemein, a Finnish Midgard company[37]. In May 2004 the Nemein.Net suite was renamed to OpenPSA and released under Open Source licensing[38].

By 2009, some social web services, like Qaiku have also adopted Midgard as their content management platform[39]. It also runs in organizations like Helsinki University of Technology[40] and Maemo[41]. e-commerce implementations with Midgard include the Movie-TV online video rental service. It has been used by New Zealand government for running the country's eGovernment portal[42].

Midgard has seen some non-Web use also, including providing synchronization with the Tomboy note-taking application for Linux desktop[43].

In addition to regular content management, Midgard is seeing use in special web application scenarios like Lufthansa's system for managing global marketing budgets.
