EasyDeposit – DOI integration with the CrossRef API

A few weeks ago I wrote about the EasyDeposit system we’ve created at The University of Auckland Library. In a nutshell, it allows you to easily create custom web-based SWORD deposit interfaces to enable the deposit of items into your repository. We’ve used it locally to create custom deposit interfaces for PhD theses, Masters theses, [...]

EasyDeposit – SWORD deposit tool creator

The development of the SWORD (Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit) protocol has enabled repositories to start accepting deposits from remote systems and interfaces. If you’re unsure of the basics of SWORD, read one of the following:

SWORD: Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit Ariadne, 2008
If SWORD is the answer, what is the question? Program, 2009

However, to date [...]

If SWORD is the answer, what is the question?

I’ve just had a new collaborative paper published: ‘If SWORD is the answer, what is the question?’ (DOI: 10.1108/00330330910998057). It covers the most recent iteration of the SWORD repository deposit standard, looks briefly at some issues around the present lack of adoption of SWORD, and most usefully presents seven use cases of SWORD written by [...]

SWORD PHP Library version 0.9 released + moved to github

I have just released version 0.9 of the SWORD PHP library. It has a few fixes and changes, the most noteworthy being:

Changed swordappservicedocument to build the servcedocument from the xml response rather than having the swordappclient do the work. This allows the service document to be parsed at a later time.
Changed the swordappclient deposit method [...]

Email your repository

What modern information handling system do we probably interact with most each day? For the majority of us, it is probably our email. We send and recive dozens of emails each day. So how about enabling repository deposit via email?
It has certainly been talked about from time to time, and a plugin to the Thunderbird [...]

Direct from MS Word to DSpace via SWORD

As a member of the SWORD project, it has been a great seeing Microsoft’s External Research group integrate SWORD into Word 2007, their Zentity repository, and their online journal hosting system. There is a good overview of this work in a presentation given by Pablo Fernicola at the Open Repositories 2009 conference entitled ‘Connecting Authors and Repositories [...]

SWORD PHP Library version 0.7 released

I have just released version 0.7 of the SWORD PHP library. It can be downloaded from http://php.swordapp.org/
This latest version adds two new features:

When performing a deposit, the client now sets the ‘Content-Disposition:filename’ header so that the SWORD server knows what to name the file. This is required by SWORD implementations (such as the Intrallect implementation) [...]

How does the Facebook SWORD client actually work?

I’ve been asked a few questions recently about how SWORD clients work, and in particular how the SWORD Facebook client works. The Facebook client is one of the most complete demonstration clients that there is, and as such ‘hides’ a lot of the work that goes on behind the scenes. This post will explain how [...]

DSpace 1.5.2 – What’s in it for me?

You may have seen the recent announcement saying that DSpace 1.5.2 is now released. When it comes to upgrading software, especially something as large and possibly critical as repository software, there is always a decision to be made about whether to upgrade or not. As one of the DSpace committers, I’ve worked on some of [...]

SWORD PHP library

As part of the JISC funded SWORD2 project, I have now written a PHP library for SWORD which is now available for download from:
http://php.swordapp.org/
There are many web applications that could deposit into repositories using SWORD, and many of these are written in PHP. Examples might include open source Content Management Systems, Blogs or Wikis. By [...]
