DIAS (Digital Information Archival System) is an Institutional Repository system designed and developed by the Distributed Multimedia Information Systems Laboratory of the Technical University of Crete. It builds on the FRBR standard to model and describe scholarly and academic works and their expressions, while it allows customization of the applied metadata schema per collection and/or type of item. It can be also configured to support customized workflows by registering custom task lists to be executed when specific events happen on items during their life-cycle. DIAS is a highly interoperable system supporting OAI-PMH, SWORD, and Open-Search protocols while it can export metadata in various formats (OAI_DC, EFRBR, MARCXML, MODS, HEAL_META, etc) including METS packages (content and metadata). Finally, DIAS can deliver personalized content by allowing users to declare their preferences and get notified when new items are published which satisfy those preferences.In this paper, we present the DIAS system and its main features with emphasis on how FRBR concepts (and which) are used to model scholarly works and other academic publications. We also describe how DIAS native metadata schema is exploiting SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) modeling primitives to link items with published resources in ontologies, thesauri, classification schemes, subject headings, etc. or to support multilingual metadata values for published Items.
