Document Library is a document management application intended for the management and tracking of large amounts of documents in an organization. The Document Library helps authors maintain their documents, automatically handling versioning, workflow, and expiration notification. It provides reviewers (librarians) with updates, fast approval, and overviews of all activity.

Information in the Document Library can be accessed using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), meaning that besides being open source, the Document Library is an open data application. Because it’s open data, the Document Library is easy to integrate with other systems, such as the Silva CMS or any other application capable of OAI-PMH harvesting.

For organizations in the UK, the Document Library has specific features that help ensure compliance with the Freedom of Information Act. For example, the application supports archiving via a custom Publication Scheme, following the FOI Act guidelines.
