Invenio README

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 up to document dissemination. Invenio complies with standards such as the Open Archives Initiative 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.

Invenio has been originally developed at CERN to run the CERN document server, managing over 1,000,000 bibliographic records in high-energy physics since 2002, covering articles, books, journals, photos, videos, and more. Invenio is nowadays co-developed by an international collaboration comprising institutes such as CERN, DESY, EPFL, FNAL, SLAC and is being used by many more scientific institutions worldwide.

We aim at user friendliness and speed. Among the features are:

• Navigable collection tree
  
  . Documents organised in collections . Regular and virtual collection trees . Customisable portal pages for each collection . At CERN, over 1,000,000 documents in 700 collections
• Powerful search engine
  
  . Specially designed indexes to provide fast search speed for repositories of up to 3,000,000 records . Customisable simple and advanced search interfaces . Combined metadata, fulltext and citation search in one go . Results clustering by collection
