RepoBuilders Community

​

The RepoBuilders community connects all roles involved in repository operations – from data curation and methodology to system administration and infrastructure operation. Whether you work with metadata, manage a system, or consult repositories, you will find your place here.​

About the community​Copy Anchor Link

The RepoBuilders community brings together people who build and operate research data repositories in Czech institutions. Whether you handle technical infrastructure, curate data, or manage a repository – we are creating a space for sharing experience and mutual help.​

The community works on two levels:​

• General level - covers topics across repository systems – methodologies, standards and practical procedures
• System-specific level - focuses on CESNET Invenio, details on the CESNET Invenio website

We meet online in two formats: ​

• RepoBuilders meetings (quarterly) – News from NRP, discussion of current topics, sharing experience across teams. ​
• CESNET Invenio RepoBuilders meetings (monthly) – Discussion of CESNET Invenio platform specific topics.​

See the shared calendar for upcoming dates.​ ​
