Sofie/Synthesis meeting in Umeå
This week we are continuing the process that began during the last workshop that we hosted in Rotterdam, but this time way up in the snowy north of Sweden in the city of Umeå.

We work towards this goal by collaborating with ambitious partners in the sector to advance and refine a central open-source platform from which all institutions can benefit.

The Delving platform is a set of tools specifically created for the cultural heritage domain. The toolset adresses the needs and problems common throughout this sector while at the same time promoting standards compliance. It provides a growing set of tools for metadata mapping, harvesting, storage and retrieval, and a web-interface for managing and publishing data for online use.
When it comes to handling and publishing meta-data and media, almost everyone in the cultural heritage sector has ambitions that exceed their own budgetary constraints. By creating a partner network and pooling efforts and resources to develop an open source platform, Delving is working at building an affordable and standards compliant solution from which everyone benefits.

This week, the Delving developers got together in Haarlem with a focus on migrating from the Play 1 framework to its next version, Play 2. This is a technical experience report regarding this migration, and is aimed primarily for developers acquainted with the framework.
