ARCHIMEDE(2.0 version) : A canadian software solution for institutional repositories

Archimède is an electronic document management system, designed and developed at the library of the Université Laval.

Here’s a list of new features for the upcoming Archimede 2.0 version:

• Fine-grained security
• Automatic versioning of content
• Supports for locks (for exclusive content editing)
• Support for custom workflows (editable at run-time)
• Web-Dav + DeltaV interface
• Custom metadata formats (run-time addition)
• Improved Web interface
• Support for portal integration (JSR-168 portlets)
• Fully implements the Java Content Repository standard (JSR-170). Archimede is built on top of the Jackrabbit reference implementation.
• Pluggable authentication/authorization module that uses Java Authentication and Authorization Service. (For example, LDAP authentication can be easily added.)
• Flexible event notification (new content, content modification, etc.)

open source distribution of Archimede is now available.
