4. Invenio future developments
Flavio Costa, Jean‐Yves Le Meur and Tim Smith
Apart from the Blog preservation effort, the main functional developments of Invenio under way include the ability to store metadata in any standard( at present only MARC 21 is used) and extending its scalability into the 100s of millions of documents range through sharding techniques. In addition there are many features under development such as the tooltips type news feature to enable focusing the attention of users on relevant aspects, both from the technical and the content points of view.
The Invenio development policy foresees to release at least two minor releases per year on average, each including improvements and new functionalities.
5. Conclusions
In short, Invenio is a powerful and flexible document repository software which can help you store and propose to citizens millions of documents of any type providing efficient and ergonomic search and retrieval functionalities. Invenio offers other varied functions such as e‐procurement or blog preservation. Already today it is ready for future document formats, it allows sharing and interaction with your users and partners and it deals efficiently and beneficially with their feedback. Furthermore Invenio can easily integrate new functions and features to support policies of e‐Government and e‐services that you may need in the future.
The comprehensive approach of Invenio provides the administrator and the organisation adopting it with synergies and efficiency in training, support, development, scalability and in following the evolving needs of your community.
