Publishing
Culture24 is working with the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) and Collections Trust (formerly MDA) to build the next generation of publishing tools for culture sector data. Called the Integrated Architecture Project, it is a technical platform which will:
Publish the Culture24 family of websites
Publish a range of partner websites
Enable venue and event data to be shared easily on a range of platforms
