InvenioRDM

Turn-key research data management repository

Visit InvenioRDM

InvenioRDM is an open-source research data management platform for building institutional repositories and digital libraries. It provides a turn-key solution for storing, describing, and sharing research records and data, with support for faceted search, advanced query syntax, and search-as-you-type.

The platform is customizable in look-and-feel, metadata model, and vocabularies, and integrates with authentication providers and persistent identifiers. It is interoperable through REST APIs, OAI-PMH harvesting aligned with the OpenAIRE guidelines, and a metadata model based on the DataCite Metadata Schema. Access can be restricted per record or shared via secret links. It runs on bare metal, VMs, and container platforms such as Kubernetes and OpenShift.

InvenioRDM is intended for institutions and teams building repositories and digital libraries, serving end-users, curators, system administrators, and developers. It is released as open-source software under a versioned release cycle with maintenance, upgrade, and security policies.
