SWORD Deposit

Repositories must interface with:– each other– users – other applications within the institution– services in the wider information landscape

There was no common deposit API or protocol

So JISC funded SWORD build on the Deposit API group

Partners: UKOLN; University of Southampton (EPrints); University of Aberystwyth (DSpace, Fedora, reference client); Intrallect (intraLibrary)

SWORD Deposit

– SWORD profiles the Atom Publishing Profile …– “[…] an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web resources”– SWORD tested on: EPrints; DSpace; Fedora; intraLibrary– Open source implementation client now available on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sword-app/ – Intrallect built Desktop Deposit tool to drag-and-drop resources into intraLibrary (with or without metadata)– More information:

FeedForward: another step

• FeedForward is a JISC-funded tool• Pulls in feeds at one end• Pushes them out to services at the other• All in one easy-to-use desktop interface• Pulls in from RSS feeds, pipes,

aggregators, OAI-PMH harvesters, SRU• Pushes out to:

– Social bookmarking services (e.g. de.li.cious)– Blogs– Repositories via SWORD implementation

FeedForward & intraLibrary

• FeedForward allows you to gather several feed items …

• Then in one drag-and-drop action, deposit them in an IMS Content Package, with metadata, into intraLibrary

• Metadata comes from the tool, plus metadata added at upload using an intraLibrary template

• Let’s see…
