Invenio is a software framework for large-scale digital repositories that provides the tools for managing digital assets in an institutional repository and research data management systems. The software is typically used for open access repositories for scholarly and/or published digital content and as a digital library.{{Cite web |author1= |date=2016–2025 |url=https://inveniosoftware.org/showcase |title=Invenio instances around the world |access-date=20 May 2025}}{{cite web |author1= |date= |url=https://www.tind.io/ |title=TIND: Reimagining Library Technology |website=TIND.io |access-date=20 May 2025}} It is free and open source software released under an MIT License.
Invenio is initially developed by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) with both individual and organisational external contributors and is freely available for download.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}}
History
Before 1 July 2006, the package was named CDSware, then renamed CDS Invenio,{{cite news |author1= |date=30 June 2006 |url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inveniosoftware/invenio/v0.90.0/RELEASE-NOTES |title=CDS Invenio v0.90.0 is released |publisher=CERN Document Server Software Consortium |website=GitHub |access-date=21 May 2025}} and now known simply as Invenio.{{cite web |author1= |date=2016–2025 |url=https://inveniosoftware.org/ |title=Invenio: Powering Open Science |publisher=CERN Document Server Software Consortium |website=Invenio Software |access-date=21 May 2025}}
Standards
{{sources|section|date=March 2024}}
Invenio complies with standards such as the Open Archives Initiative metadata harvesting protocol (OAI-PMH) and uses JSON/JSONSchema as its underlying bibliographic format.{{cite web |url=https://inveniosoftware.org/#features |title=Features |website=Invenio software |access-date=7 June 2018}}
Support
The service provider TIND Technologies, an official CERN spin-off based in Norway, offers Invenio via a software-as-a-service model.{{cite news |last1=Purcell |first1=Andrew |date=2 November 2015 |url=https://cds.cern.ch/journal/CERNBulletin/2015/46/News%20Articles/2062869?ln=en |title=A spin-off company helps unlock the full potential of Invenio software |work=CERN Bulletin |issue=45–46/2015 |access-date=20 May 2025}} TIND presents itself as focused on library technologies.
Variants of Invenio are offered by TIND for library services as TIND ILS, DA, IR and RDM{{cite web |first1=Matt |last1=Enis |date=2017-06-01 |title=Academic Libraries Implement New ILS, IR Developed by CERN |url=https://www.libraryjournal.com/?detailStory=academic-libraries-implement-new-ils-ir-developed-by-cern |website=Library Journal |access-date=2019-10-10}} under a fully hosted and open-core model.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}}
Users
Invenio is used outside of its original home within CERN, including SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Fermilab, and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. SPIRES migrated to Invenio in October 2011 with the INSPIRE-HEP site, a joint effort of CERN, DESY, SLAC and FNAL.{{cite journal|last1=Rezendes Khirallah |first1=Diane |title=Physicists, start your searches: Inspire database now online |journal=Symmetry: Dimensions of Particle Physics|date=24 May 2012 |url=http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breaking/2012/05/24/physicists-start-your-searches-inspire-database-now-online}}
In 2014, the package was chosen to be the digital library software of all national universities in the western Africa regional economic community UEMOA which includes eight countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo.{{cite news |date=14 April 2014 |title=A virtual library for 8 UEMOA countries under discussion in Dakar |url=http://www.unesco.org/new/en/dakar/about-this-office/single-view/news/a_virtual_library_for_8_uemoa_countries_under_discussion_in_dakar/ |publisher=UNESCO |access-date=10 March 2015}}
The research data repository Zenodo at CERN is basically run under Invenio v3, wrapped by a small extra layer of code that is also named Zenodo.{{Cite web |publisher=MS |website=Git hub |url=https://github.com/Zenodo/zenodo |title=Zenodo |date=12 May 2021}} To simplify reuse of the Zenodo codebase, several institutions have joined in 2019 to distribute an institution-agnostic package under the name of InvenioRDM.{{cite web |access-date=2019-10-10 |title=InvenioRDM: a turn-key open source research data management platform |url=https://invenio-software.org/blog/2019-04-29-rdm/ |website=Invenio software |date=2019-04-29}}
The German Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv) use Invenio for its record keeping software.{{cite web |author1=|date= |url=https://invenio.bundesarchiv.de/invenio/ |title=Welcome to invenio, the research application of the Federal Archives [Bundesarchiv] |language=de}}
