assessment, the Evaluation Panel phase and the archive. It includes interactions and uploading files by the firms. The different steps are triggered automatically according to a pre‐defined calendar.
• In a typical bidding phase depending from the ItT mentioned above, a firm would upload the documents in a collection that only that firm can access, at the beginning. At the time of the deadline for the tenders, Invenio automatically changes the metadata of the documents in the offers, which triggers a new classification in a collection which is forbidden for access by the companies and allows the Procurement Service to start the Assessment step. This means that the members of an Evaluation Panel gain access to a part of the documents which allow them to evaluate the offers. At the end of the evaluation, the Procurement Service triggers the next step and another automatic change of metadata which“ moves” the documents of the offers in an archive collection which is forbidden to the members of the Evaluation Panel, too.
3.2 Blogs preservation
Basically any piece of information that can be saved as a file in the file system can be considered as a“ document” for Invenio. Based on this consideration, anything can be conveniently stored in Invenio and profit from Invenio features / characteristics( Google‐like search mode, fast search and retrieval engine for large amounts of data, etc.). BlogForever( BlogForever Project http:// blogforever. eu /) is a collaborative EU funded project( FP7, Seventh Framework Programme of the European Commission Community Research and Development Information Service ‐ CORDIS) aimed at saving knowledge stored in blogs dialogs and discussions. Its key objective is to develop robust digital preservation, management and dissemination facilities for weblogs. These facilities will be able to capture the dynamic and continuously evolving nature of weblogs, their network and social structure, and the exchange of concepts and ideas that they foster; pieces of information omitted by current Web Archiving methods and solutions. It is composed mainly by a crawler, which selects information in the blogs, and the repository where this information is stored. Invenio was selected as the repository for these blogs item and the Invenio team takes part to the joint effort to set up an instance of Invenio to optimize the integration with the crawler.
