  The Institutional Repositories (IR) have been consolidated into the
institutions in scientific and academic areas, as shown by the directories
existing open access repositories and the deposits daily of articles made by
different ways, such as by self-archiving of registered users and the
cataloging by librarians. IR systems are based on various conceptual models, so
in this paper a bibliographic survey Model-Driven Development (MDD) in systems
and applications for RI in order to expose the benefits of applying MDD in IR.
The MDD is a paradigm for building software that assigns a central role models
and active under which derive models ranging from the most abstract to the
concrete, this is done through successive transformations. This paradigm
provides a framework that allows interested parties to share their views and
directly manipulate representations of the entities of this domain. Therefore,
the benefits are grouped by actors that are present, namely, developers,
business owners and domain experts. In conclusion, these benefits help make
more formal software implementations, resulting in a consolidation of such
systems, where the main beneficiaries are the end users through the services
are offered
