Invenio customization for CERN Document Server

Presentation at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014

Invenio Interest Group Presentations

Invenio was originally developed at CERN in 2002 to run the CERN Document Server, managing today around 1.5M records. Invenio is now an open source software package which provides tools to manage digital assets in large scale digital and web driven document repositories. Its scope covers all aspects of document management from document ingestion through classification, indexing, and curation to dissemination and preservation. After introducing Invenio the paper will describe a practical approach to implement solutions for diverse aspects of document management at CERN. Examples will include the use of Invenio in e-procurement processes at CERN, electronic Bulletins, announcements of conferences and on-line events (data streaming), archives and preservation of multimedia assets. Features and particular uses of workflow, ranking, access rights restrictions will also be addressed, in particular in the e-procurement case. Invenio at CERN serves a wide variety of electronic documents (including articles, books, journals, photos) and multimedia content such as pictures, presentations, talks, posters, plots, audio podcasts and videos.
