SWORD 2

The next phase of SWORD is just beginning. Add ideas for SWORD 2 development to the wiki:

SWORD 2 is being managed by Julie Allinson (University of York) and Adrian Stevenson (UKOLN)

The project is led by UKOLN

The original SWORD project

Duration: The project ran from 1st March 2007 until 31 August 2007 - extended until 31 October 2007, with case studies following in 2008.

Project description

SWORD (Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit) will take forward the Deposit protocol developed by a small working group as part of the JISC Digital Repositories Programme by implementing it as a lightweight web-service in four major repository software platforms: EPrints, DSpace, Fedora and IntraLibrary. The existing protocol documentation will be finalised by project partners and a prototype ‘smart deposit’ tool will be developed to facilitate easier and more effective population of repositories. The project intends to take an iterative approach to developing and revising the protocol, web-services and client implementation through evaluative testing and feedback mechanisms. Community acceptance and take-up will be sought through dissemination activities. The project is led by UKOLN, University of Bath, with partners at the Aberystwyth University, the University of Southampton and Intrallect Ltd. The project aims to improve the efficiency and quality of repository deposit and to diversity and expedite the options for timely population of repositories with content whilst promoting a common deposit interface and supporting the Information Environment principles of interoperability.

For a handy introduction to SWORD, please see the following paper in Ariadne (as deposited in CADAIR).

SWORD is continuing the activities of the the JISC Digital Repository Programme Deposit API working group.

See the Deposit API pages for more information.

Partners

  • UKOLN (Adrian Stevenson)
  • University of York (Julie Allinson)
  • EPrints, University of Southampton (Les Carr and Sebastien Francois)
  • Intrallect Ltd. (Martin Morrey and Sarah Currier)
  • Centre for Advanced Software and Intelligent Systems (CASIS), Aberystwyth University (Neil Taylor, Stuart Lewis, Richard Jones and Glen Robson)

Standards and protocol

Deposit protocol

The SWORD protocol for deposit is a profile of the Atom Publishing Protocol. Current version:

This document replaces:

Parameters

  • SWORD parameters - outlines the parameters/requirements for the SWORD protocol

Existing standards

Supported formats

Technical development

This work package involves implementation of the SWORD protocol in test installations of DSpace, IntraLibrary, Fedora and EPrints and the development of a SWORD demonstration client for depositing to these, and other, installations.

SWORD downloads

These are available from our Sourceforge project page:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sword-app/ (from the downloads area)

EPrints code is also available from http://files.eprints.org/305/

SWORD implementations

Intrallect have made available details about their implementation, including acceptance tests at the link below (please note their terms and conditions of use).

Accessing the implementations

Further information is available about how to access the current SWORD implementations:

SWORD demonstration clients

There are two demonstration clients which can be used to test implementations within the SWORD project and are freely available for wider use.

Other clients developed outside of the project are also in development currently ...

  • for example, the Feedforward project has recently produced a client which includes SWORD-compliance, among other features. Definitely worth a look.
  • also, potentially implementation and testing in the ICE project, see this report on a recent workshop

Case studies

Four Case studies have been commissioned. The following are available now:

CRIG unconference workshop

There was a discussion of SWORD at the CRIG Unconference on December 6th:
