Core Repository Implementations

There are three core repository systems supported by NRP: CESNET Invenio, CLARIN DSpace, and ASEP/ARL. Those implementations of repository systems have essentially the same core functionality but may differ in the details of how specific features are implemented and the extent to which you can customize the features. This overview contains mainly links to detailed developer documentation and other resources userful mostly for people who intend to heavily customise their repositories with their own hands.

If you are in the process of choosing an implementation for your repository, this may not be the ideal starting point, though. In that case, repository system specialists will help guide repository administrators through the process of selecting the right software solution, for more information, see the documentation on creating repositories.

If none of the core repository systems meet your needs it is also possible to build an instance of your own repository system on NRP resources, but in that case, you will bear the costs of integrating and updating your repository system within the infrastructure.
