| - | == SWORD Code == | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Code for implementing SWORD in DSpace, Fedora and EPrints is available from our Sourceforge project page, along with Java Libraries and the reference client code: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | http://sourceforge.net/projects/sword-app/ (from the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=208296 downloads] area) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | EPrints code is also available from http://files.eprints.org/305/ | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | == SWORD Demonstrators == | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Within the SWORD project, the profile was implemented in test versions of DSpace, intraLibrary, Fedora and EPrints. Instructions on how to access these can be found on the following page: | + | |
