Midgard is an open source persistent storage framework. It provides an object-oriented and replicated environment
for building data-intensive applications [5] .
Midgard also ships with MidCOM content management system (CMS) built on the Midgard framework [6] [7] .
MidCOM's features include web-based authoring WYSIWYG interfaces and a component interface for installing
additional web functionalities [8] , including wikis [9] and blogs [10] .
Midgard is built on the GNOME stack of libraries like GLib and libgda, and has language bindings for C, Python,
Objective-C and PHP [11] [12] . Communications between applications written in the different languages happen over
D-Bus [13] . The CMS functionalities run on the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) platform [14] .
The project follows the synchronized, 6 month release cycle that is implemented by several major open source
projects like Ubuntu and GNOME [15] [16] . 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 [17] .
Especially the templating and page composition features of Midgard have received praise, earning honorary
mentions in several CMS Watch surveys [18] [19] [20] [21] . It also got score of 42 out of 45 in the Celebrity CMS
Deathmatch of 2009 [22]
