If I understand you well, then you would like to let your Invenio server harvest your Indico documents and put them into a separate collection on your Invenio server (that contains other papers as well). If yes, then (1) you have to configure an OAI export gateway on your Indico server first. After that (2) you configure the BibHarvest daemon on your Invenio server so that it would fetch records from your Indico instance periodically into your Invenio instance. During this fetching process, you can use the h-c-u harvesting mode that enables you to use some XLST to add any MARC fields you may need, e.g. new collection indicators tag 980 $a. (Note that Invenio comes bundled with the oaimarc2marcxml.xsl example that you may possibly use out of the box; or tweak a little to suit your metadata markup.) See also the BibHarvest Admin Guide on various available harvesting modes. After you have your Indico records harvested into your Invenio instance, (3) you can then create a new collection that would encompass all your Indico records (by common tag 980) in your Invenio instance. And you are done on the Invenio's side. Finally, (4) you let your Indico instance know of your Invenio's instance URL, and you should also be done on the Indico's side. > 2) How can I let interact indico and invenio ? See the above notes. I believe our Indico colleagues might have a wiki page on the CERN setup, which might give you some ready-to-use recipes. > 3) the search of indico does not include events and conferences > present in indico itself ? It does, by means of an intermediate Invenio instance, after you export your Indico records into your Invenio instance, as mentioned above.
