The Invenio brand today covers a suite of currently three main products developed by the Invenio community: </p> <ul> <li>InvenioRDM - a repository/document management platform</li> <li>InvenioILS - an integrated library system</li> <li>Invenio Framework - a code library to build large-scale information systems such as InvenioRDM and InvenioILS</li> </ul> <p> In addition to the three main products, a larger number of smaller generic code libraries are also being maintained for the benefit of the open source commuinty independently of Invenio. </p> </div> <span class="section-title">History</span> <div clas="row"> <p> Originally, Invenio v1, was a software application that acted as both a digital repository and an integrated library system based on MARC21. The first release of Invenio (named CDSWare back then) was on August 1st, 2002. </p> <p> In 2015, Invenio v3 was rewritten from scratch in order to better support large-scale research data management use cases as well as take advantage of significant developments in open source off-the-shelf solutions which didn't exist back in 2002. Invenio v3 also marked the departure from MARC21 as the core metadata format, towards a fully JSON-based system supporting many different metadata formats and not only MARC21. </p> <p> Invenio v3 further marked the split of Invenio into several separate products each focusing on specific use cases, but all based on the same core Invenio Framework v3. </p> <p> What about Invenio v2? Please don't ask (number 2 is always bad right?) 😀 </p> </div> </div> </section> <section id="logos" class="logos-section section-content-light-bg"> <div class="container"> <span class="section-title">Logo and sticker download</span> <h6 class="section-subtitle">Feel free to use our logos and stickers which are available under CC-BY licence.</h6> <h6 class="centered">Logos</h6> <div clas="row centered"> <div class="col-md-6"> <a href="/static/img/logo-invenio-white.svg?h=84611f18" download><img src="/static/img/logo-invenio-white.svg?h=84611f18"></a> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <a href="/static/img/logo-invenio-framework.svg?h=de9a0f7c" download><img src="/static/img/logo-invenio-framework.svg?h=de9a0f7c"></a> </div> <div clas="row centered"> <div class="col-md-6"> <a href="/static/img/logo-invenio-rdm.svg?h=db2629d2" download><img src="/static/img/logo-invenio-rdm.svg?h=db2629d2"></a> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <a href="/static/img/logo-invenio-ils.svg?h=da7ca04b" download><img src="/static/img/logo-invenio-ils.svg?h=da7ca04b"></a> </div> </div> <h6 class="centered" id="stickers">Stickers</h6> <div class="row centered"> <div class="col-md-6"> <a href="/static/img/sticker-inveniordm-tail.svg?h=11f898f6" download><img class="sticker" src="/static/img/sticker-inveniordm-tail.svg?h=11f898f6"></a> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <a href="/static/img/sticker-inveniordm-hex.svg?h=83bd6b07" download><img class="sticker" src="/static/img/sticker-inveniordm-hex.svg?h=83bd6b07"></a> </div> </div> </div> </section> <footer> <div class="contact-section section-content-dark-bg"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6 footer-logo-centered"> <a href="/"><img class="icon-contact" src="/static/img/logo-invenio-white.svg?h=84611f18" /></a> </div> <div class="col-md-2"> <h3 class="contact-title">Products</h3> <table class="contact-list"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="/products/rdm/">InvenioRDM</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="/products/ils/">InvenioILS</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="/products/framework/">Invenio Framework</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="/#products">Get Started</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="/showcase/">Examples</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/about/">About</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/about#logos">Logos</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="col-md-2"> <h3 class="contact-title">Community</h3> <table class="contact-list"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a href="/products/rdm/roadmap/">Roadmap</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="/getinvolved/">Get Involved</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="/events/">Events & Training</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="/support/">Hosting & Support</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="/governance/">Governance</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="/people/">People</a> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="col-md-2"> <h3 class="contact-title">Keep in touch</h3> <table class="contact-list"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <a href="https://github.com/inveniosoftware">GitHub</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="https://discord.gg/8qatqBC">Chatroom</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="https://invenio-talk.web.cern.ch">Talk</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="https://twitter.com/inveniosoftware">Twitter</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/blog/">Blog</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-bottom"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12 centered"> <span>Copyright © 2016-<span id="currentYear"></span> CERN & contributors.
