Culture Grid

Building on the success of the Peoples Network Discovery Service, developed for the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council, K-int worked closely with Collections Trust to develop a new open software and hardware platform for the cultural sector which aggregates digital content from cultural publishers and syndicate it to third party services including the general public Europeana - the European Digital Library.  Culture Grid is based around our Open Data Aggregator product (ODA).  By exposing standards based machine APIs for both ingest and dissemination, ODA allows a wider range of digital content to be stored and accessed.

In June 2010 a new front end website for Culture Grid, including an enhanced search interface, was developed by Gooii Ltd using the SOLR Search API.  Since then a number of enhancements have been delivered including the new Find a Library service.  K-int continue manage all technical aspects of Culture Grid through an annual Service Level Agreement (SLA).
