CDS Invenio comes as a suite of several more or less independent modules. You'll find brief descriptions for each admin module below. (More background information on each module may be read in the modules overview article.)
Admin HOWTO Guides give you you both short and not-so-short recipes and thoughts on some of the most frequently encountered administrative tasks. They tend to answer various admin-level questions of a rather general level. The specific tasks are better addressed by module-specific guides and interfaces presented below.
The metadata input into a running CDS Invenio system can be done in two ways: (i) admin-oriented batch mode, i.e. BibHarvest to get data from OAI repositories, BibConvert to convert any input data into XML MARC, and BibUpload to upload XML MARC files into CDS Invenio; and (ii) author-oriented interactive mode, i.e. WebSubmit to submit documents via Web. Once the data are uploaded in CDS Invenio, you may want to modify them via BibEdit to edit the metadata.
| Admin Module | Admin Description | Admin Interface | Admin Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| BibHarvest Admin | Enables you to configure OAI metadata harvestor for eventual periodical batch upload of data. For example, you can define from where to harvest, with what periodicity, how to transform data before uploading them into CDS Invenio, etc. Also, enables you to define your OAI sets in case you want to export your own data. | BibHarvest Admin Interface | BibHarvest Admin Guide |
| BibConvert Admin | Explains how to use bibliographic data convertor. Useful for batch upload of data. For example, when migrating the metadata from your old system, or when integrating metadata acquisitions from non-OAI sources, or just about any line-based - not-so-well-structured metadata. + not-so-well-structured metadata. | command-line program | BibConvert Admin Guide |
| BibMatch Admin | Tools for matching XML MARC files against the repository content. Useful when importing third-party metadata files. | command-line program | BibMatch Admin Guide |
| BibUpload Admin | Enables you to configure eventual local special operations to be done on the data being uploaded. | command-line program | BibUpload Admin Guide |
| WebSubmit Admin | Enables you to configure the submit interface and logic for various document types. For example, you can define which metadata fields should be submitted for various doctypes, what to do with the inputted values before uploading, possible peer review and approval strategy, etc. | WebSubmit Admin Interface | WebSubmit Admin Guide |
| ElmSubmit Admin | Enables you to configure the submission of documents by electronic mail. | command-line program | ElmSubmit Admin Guide |
| BibEdit Admin | Enables you to directly manipulate bibliographic data, edit a single record, do global replacements, and other cataloguing tasks. | BibEdit Admin Interface | BibEdit Admin Guide |
The metadata output from a running CDS Invenio system to the end-user is covered by several modules: BibIndex to index the metadata, BibRank to eventually rank them, BibFormat to format them for the output, WebSearch to provide search interfaces and search engine.
| Admin Module | Admin Description | Admin Interface | Admin Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| BibIndex Admin |
Enables you to configure "word files", i.e. to define which
bibliographic fields are indexed into which word indexes. The word
indexes are then used by the search interface. For example, you can
define that the logical author index is constructed from physical
100 $a and 700 $a bibliographic tags, you
can force reindexing of the fulltext index, etc.
