Description
JOIN² is a shared repository infrastructure that brings together eight research institutes for the development of a full-fledged scholarly publication database and repository based on the Invenio v1.3 open source framework for large-scale digital repositories. Six JOIN² instances are already successfully deployed and two more institutes have joined seamlessly during the last year, resulting in the overall consolidation of the system and its functionalities. JOIN² provides a general solution built around a well-defined publication workflow which represents the cornerstone of the JOIN² paradigm. Always preferring simplicity to complexity and implementing a convergent, inclusive solution, the JOIN² members have consolidated their successful development workflow and collaboration. This presentation highlights how JOIN² is able to address the needs of a heterogeneous group of research centers.
Building on a 100% open source framework and around the users' needs, JOIN² has developed a publication database and repository (and library management system) able to address the needs of an expanding set of diverse research centers providing rich functionalities in the simplest way. The definition and enforcement of a uniform publication workflow is at the core of the JOIN² approach. We believe the JOIN² collaboration model to have proven very successful.
