TIND is an official CERN spin-off founded in 2013, offering cloud-based solutions for institutional repositories and integrated library systems.[1] The company is known for partly leveraging the open source Invenio framework for enterprise customers. Since its foundation, TIND has also focused on developing a standards-compliant library system software available to smaller academic and research libraries. Customers include UC Berkeley, the University of Chicago and the United Nations.[2] TIND is headquartered in Oslo, Norway.


History

TIND Technologies AS was founded in 2013 in Oslo, Norway. In 2014, TIND signed a commercial licensing agreement with CERN and was established as the first-ever official CERN spin-off company.[3][4] The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights became one of TIND's first customers later in 2014.[4]

In 2016, NTNU selected TIND DA as their platform to manage its digital collections, including the original manuscript of the Norwegian national anthem Ja, vi elsker dette landet.[5]

In 2018, the library at the UC Berkeley School of Law implemented TIND ILS, becoming the third U.S. academic institution to adopt the new ILS. In collaboration with the UC Berkeley Law Library, TIND completed the development of a new, launch-ready acquisitions and serials module.[2]

In 2018, the University of Chicago Library implemented TIND for handling research data in addition to traditional research publications.[6]

In 2019, Columbia Law School implemented TIND ILS.[7]

In 2021, the Folger Shakespeare Library implemented TIND ILS to replace Voyager as an integrated library system.[8]

Licensing

TIND was founded in 2013 and signed a licensing agreement with CERN in 2014.[9] While developed on an open-source framework, TIND is a full-service commercial product. TIND has an annual licensing fee, plus one-time implementation fees. The TIND technology is open, but TIND Technologies AS holds exclusive rights to commercialization.[5]

The company partly leverages the archiving software known as Invenio within CERN. TIND has become a completely separate entity from CERN and Invenio since its launch in 2013, and developed its own products based on the open source software framework.[10] The CERN research center has no ownership stake in the relevant software but receives a share of the sales revenue.[11]

Key Features

TIND is an archiving and library management technology based on the software developed at the CERN research center for its library operations. The TIND technology runs on Python and can integrate with relational databases, such as MySQL.[12] TIND runs a hosting platform and provides services such as installation, data conversion, configuration, customization, and ongoing support for libraries. The TIND product network is comprised of four separate but interlinked services, TIND ILS, TIND DA, TIND IR, and TIND RDM.

Products

TIND has developed four products based on the Invenio open source software framework:[12]

TIND IR

TIND IR is an institutional or open access repository for managing research output.[1] The IR supports all file types, including articles, preprints, and theses, as well as multimedia content such as pictures, video, and audio. TIND IR has DOI minting capabilities and provides an advanced cataloging module.[2]

TIND DA

TIND DA is a digital archive for managing digitized special and historical collections. [5] TIND DA provides advanced archiving and search tools for digital material, such as videos, images or newspapers.[13]

TIND ILS

TIND ILS is an integrated library system for academic, special and law libraries.[1] The ILS incorporates advanced cataloging, patron record management, integrated digital content management, and a statistical analysis tool that can generate customized reports regarding collections.[2]

TIND RDM

TIND RDM is a research data repository for archiving software and datasets.[2][14] The RDM integrates GitHub for the preservation of software code.[15]
