EPrints

EPrints is a digital document management system with a flexible metadata and workflow model for academic institutions. It brings digital documents, metadata, and workflow into one program. Academic institutions are its primary audience, especially when their document management work requires flexibility in both metadata and workflow. The program focuses on managing digital documents through a model that covers document information and document processes. Metadata and workflow are therefore central parts of how EPrints handles digital document management in an academic setting. The main limitation is its academic focus. EPrints is aimed primarily at academic institutions, so organizations outside academia are not its core audience. It may be a less direct fit when a document management project is not academic or does not need a flexible metadata and workflow model.
