Overview
This project aims to set up common document management services, particularly in cross-border IT systems used to support EU policies. It will do so by making Document Repository Services (DRS) available to Member States' public administrations, European Institutions and other organisations. DRS offers a back-end solution (no user interface included) providing support to most common document management operations.
Needs that the solution addresses
This project provides full support to document management operations by implementing a full set of document management services that can be integrated with a client application. As mentioned, the service is offered as a back-end solution in form of a Web Services layer. Scripts to generate the database underneath the Web Services are also provided.
Features that the solution implements:
The offered services provided functionalities in three main areas:
- Document management: Including documents and attachtments creation and management, documents versioning, documents filing, custom metadata, document search on content and metadata or document encryption.
- Filing plan management: Including file management, file search or track changes inside folders
- Users and groups: allowing user and groups management and advanced authentication and authorization.
Typical intended audience:
The project targets Public Administrations that would like to use standard document management services inside their custom applications.
How to reuse the solution:
The solution can be reused by installing the DRS services locally, creating a local database and integrating them inside custom applications.
