InvenioRDM

InvenioRDM is an open source framework for building large-scale digital repositories. InvenioRDM has a modern web architecture and standards that make it easy to deploy, maintain, and use. InvenioRDM is being developed with a wide range of features to streamline good data practice and boost value throughout the research lifecycle. Read more about the technical features possible in InvenioRDM through the Invenio Framework.


Records

  • Any resource type InvenioRDM allows you to store publications, datasets, software, images, videos or any other resource type you may have thus can serve as a single repository for all your records.
  • Any file format/size InvenioRDM accepts any file format in any size given that your underlying infrastructure can support it.

  • Versioning support Records and files are all versioned with optimized storage for large files.

  • DOI registration via DataCite InvenioRDM can register DOIs with DataCite for all records, and allows you to write plugins for other identifier schemes.

  • DataCite-based metadata InvenioRDMs internal metadata is based on the DataCite Metadata Schema which is a simple yet powerful format for describing nearly any research output (paper, data, software, ...).

  • Strong support for persistent identifiers Authors, affiliations, licenses, related papers/datasets etc can all be identified via persistent identifiers such as ORCID and RORs.

  • Extended Date Time Format (EDTF) support Publication dates and other dates support the EDTF format for recording imprecise dates and date ranges such as 1939/1945.

  • Previewers InvenioRDM comes with previewers for common files formats such as PDFs, images, CSV, Markdown, XML and JSON.

  • Citation formatting InvenioRDM can generate citations strings for your records using the Citation Style Language with support for more than 800+ journal citation styles.

  • Record preview Before you publish your record, you can see a preview of how it looks like.

  • Metadata-only records Both records with or without associated files are supported.

  • Identifier detection and validation InvenioRDM comes with support for automatic detection and validation for a large number of persistent identifier schemes (i.e. less typing and clicking for end-users).


Search

  • Faceted search InvenioRDM supports fully customizable faceted search.

  • Advanced query syntax InvenioRDM has support for advanced querying via simple term search, phrase search, range search, regular expressions and custom ranking/sorting.

  • Auto-complete as you type InvenioRDM exposed advanced APIs for search-as-you-type scenarios.


Authorization, permissions and security

  • Login via institutional account InvenioRDM makes it easy to integrate your institutional authentication provider such as e.g. Keycloak, OAuth or alternative use e.g. ORCID for login.

  • Restricted records InvenioRDM supports restricting access to files only or to the entire record.

  • Share by link Restricted records can be shared with peer-reviewers or your colleagues via secret links.

  • Embargo support Restricted records can be embargoed so that they are automatically made publicly on a specific date so that you can comply with e.g. funders' Open Access mandates.

  • Logged in devices InvenioRDM allows users to see a list of currently logged in devices on their account.


Customizations

  • Styling and theming InvenioRDM can be styled and themed to fit into your institutional visual identity.

  • Custom vocabularies All vocabularies such as types for resources, dates, roles, relations, affiliations etc can be customized to your local instance.

  • Subjects InvenioRDM can load external subjects vocabularies used for classifications such as Medial Subject Headings (MeSH) and many others.

  • Permission system InvenioRDM supports advanced customizations to the permission system for e.g. IP-based access control.


APIs and interoperability

  • REST API InvenioRDM exposes a strong versioned REST API for all operations on the repository, that allows you to build your own integrations on top of InvenioRDM.

  • Export formats InvenioRDM supports exporting records metadata in multiple formats such as JSON, Citation Style Language JSON, DataCite JSON/XML, Dublin Core.


Infrastructure

  • Large file support InvenioRDM supports uploading and handling TB-sized files and can manage from MBs to PBs of data as long as your underlying storage systems supports it.

  • Multi-storage systems InvenioRDM allows you to integrate backend multiple storage systems in the same instance such as S3, XRootD and more.

  • Deploy anywhere InvenioRDM is a Python application and you can deploy into your institutional infrastructure wheather it is on bare metal, VMs, containers, Kubernetes or OpenShift.
