InvenioRDM

InvenioRDM is a self‑hosted platform for managing research data, providing a turn‑key repository that supports file uploads, metadata handling, and community‑based organization. It offers a web interface with customizable look‑and‑feel, metadata models, vocabularies, and persistent identifier schemes, allowing institutions to tailor the system to their own FAIR and policy requirements. The software includes built‑in notifications, role‑based access control, and multilingual support, and it can be extended with custom code for additional functionality.

The platform is designed for scalability and interoperability, exposing REST and OAI‑PMH APIs for integration with other services and for automated workflows. It supports automated tasks, search indexing, and static page generation, while maintaining security features such as access restrictions and configurable community publishing rules. Documentation and a demo site are provided to help users install, operate, and customize an instance.

InvenioRDM is released under the MIT license, is maintained by a community of contributors, and is considered stable for production use. It is free to use without subscription and can be deployed on-premises, making it suitable for libraries, research institutions, and any organization that needs a robust, open‑source solution for research data management.
