Project context and info

RERO+ is a competence and service centre for libraries in Switzerland. MEF is developed in the context of RERO ILS, an open source integrated library system for public, patrimonial and school libraries.

MEF is used as an authority or entity file in RERO ILS, but the aim is also to enable a reuse by other systems interested in multilingualism. The multilingual content of the data is synchronised with major authority files (for example GND and IdRef) in order to maximise the reuse of existing sources and to minimise the manual creation of new entities.

MEF is created, as its sister project RERO ILS, on the basis of the Invenio 3 framework.

This service is still in the development stage and is regularly updated with new features and data. The source code and the release notes are available on Github.
