INVENIO
Summary
Invenio is a free software
suite enabling you to run your own digital library or document repository on the
web. The technology offered by the software covers all aspects of digital
library management from document ingestion through classification, indexing,
and curation to dissemination.
Invenio complies with standards such as the Open Archives Initiative metadata harvesting protocol (OAI‐PMH) and uses MARC 21 as its underlying bibliographic format.
The flexibility and performance of Invenio make it a comprehensive solution for management of document repositories of moderate to large sizes (several millions of records). Developed by CERN. Runs on Linux.
