InvenioRDM is a CERN-led open-source research-data-management platform built on the Invenio framework; it is the software that powers Zenodo and a growing number of institutional turn-key RDM repositories. It mints DataCite DOIs, integrates ORCID and ROR, supports customisable metadata and communities, and exposes a REST API. Its creator/contributor metadata model maps naturally to CRediT roles, and its extensible vocabularies make it a strong fit for loading the CASRAI Dictionary.
