WHY AT
CERN ?
1990: Tim Berners-Lee invents the Web at CERN
1991: High Energy Physics databases on the Web: SPIRES and ArXiv
1993: CERN preprint server on the Web, focusing on 'gray literature' institutional and disciplinary repository
1996: CERN Library Server, with books, conference proceedings, journals and archive material
2000: CERN Document server (CDS), with images, audios, videos, slides and internal notes collections
2002: First open source release of the underlying SW: CDSware
2006: CDSware becomes Invenio, an I18N collaboration
2010: Invenio widely adopted in HEP (SPIRES, ArXiv, NASA-ADS), by IRs and by some EU Projects
