Notre Dame, Northwestern Univerity and Data Curation Experts have been
collaborating on creating a new open source project called Curate.   Curate
is a self-deposit institutional repository which can handle articles as one
of it's built in types.  Curate is based on the hydra project and
Blacklight, so it is highly customizable and has search built in.

Feel free to email me or [log in to unmask] for further inquiries.
