Deploying InvenioRDM as an institutional repository platform for data, software, and publications

Caltech Library has run the successful CaltechDATA institutional data repository on the Invenio platform since 2017. This fall we migrated to InvenioRDM, a community-developed repository platform that takes the best features of Zenodo and bundles them into a customizable package. We’ll share details on how we customize our version of InvenioRDM, as well as how we managed the migration of over 20,000 records. Our migration implemented best practices for FAIR data, including ORCID identifiers for researchers and ROR identifiers for affiliations and funders. Migration of API integrations with microPublication Biology and “The Atlas of Bacterial & Archaeal Cell Structure“ will also be highlighted. Finally, we’ll discuss progress in migrating our institutional publications repository, CaltechAUTHORS, to InvenioRDM
