CERN Document Server Software (CDSware) is the software developed by,
maintained by, and used at, the CERN Document Server. It enables you
to run your own electronic preprint server, your own online library
catalogue or a document system on the web. It complies with the Open
Archive Initiative metadata harvesting protocol and uses MARC-21 as
its underlying bibliographic standard.

At CERN, the CDSware manages over 350 collections of data, consisting of
over 450,000 bibliographic records, including 170,000 fulltext
documents. (Covering preprints, articles, books, journals,
photographs, and more. Consult <http://cds.cern.ch/> for details.)
