## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 65/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 72, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4951, "days_push": 173, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
Zenodo is a CERN-built open-source research data repository platform where researchers can share and preserve research outputs of any size or format, issuing DOIs and supporting communities. It is implemented as a layer on top of the Invenio digital library framework using Python, Flask, Elasticsearch, and PostgreSQL.

## Use cases
- host an institutional research data repository
- self-host a Zenodo-like repository for research outputs
- assign DOIs to datasets and software releases
- build a digital library or document repository
- manage open-access publications and datasets
- run a repository for EU-funded research outputs
- integrate GitHub releases with a data repository

## When to choose
- you need a full-featured, DOI-minting research data repository
- you want to build on the mature Invenio ecosystem
- you need community curation, versioning, and OAI-PMH support
- you require a proven platform backed by CERN and OpenAIRE

## When to avoid
- you only need simple file hosting without DOI or metadata workflows
- you cannot operate a complex stack (Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ)
- you want a lightweight static site or minimal archive
- you need a turnkey SaaS rather than self-hosted infrastructure

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: search-engine, web-framework, api-framework, file-upload, documentation
- domain: self-hosted, education, data-science, web-development, apis, documentation
- platform: python, self-hosted
- tags: research-data-repository, digital-library, open-science, open-access, invenio, elasticsearch, postgresql, doi, scientific-publications, cern, web-server, docker
