Richard Jones commented on DS-1005:
-----------------------------------

Hi Tim,

I would very much like it if the DSpace specific SWORD code is owned by the 
DSpace Community.  The DSpace implementation is absolutely specific to DSpace, 
and I think it is right and proper that it's the community's property, not that 
of a JISC project - it's just being written with JISC funding, like many odd 
bits of DSpace :) 

I only just realised when reading your comment and re-examining the code that 
the sword common library has also been bundled in as source too (I'm still 
catching up since getting back from holiday!).

I've already updated the pom in the sword-app version of this code and 
submitted a request to sonatype to allow me to publish it as a stand-alone 
artefact.  I also already did similar work for Foresite, but I'm not sure what 
will happen when I try to take this to fruition, as I don't control the 
org.dspace domain that is the groupId for this project.  There is nothing in 
either of these libraries which is specific to DSpace - they are simply 
libraries that the DSpace implementation of SWORD depends on to function, just 
as the rest of the DSpace codebase relies on external libraries.  The SWORD 
common code will need to be maintained by the repository community itself, 
which is welcome to involve members of the DSpace/DuraSpace community, plus 
anyone else who is interested in that code, but I don't see that as being any 
different to having a dependency on any other externally maintained open source 
project - it is maintained by the people who care enough about it to be involved
 .

I will keep you posted with progress with sonatype, but for the time being 
Option 1 will work if you're happy with it.  If I can get through the maven 
publishing process in time, we can pull all that code out.

I'm not too concerned about the ongoing funding for SWORD.  As an open source 
project, we have to look at ways that we'll take the development forward and 
have some of the same challenges as DSpace to rise to!  Perhaps there is an 
interesting angle that we could look at, if DuraSpace would be interested in 
having closer involvement in SWORD development - maybe we should start that 
discussion in a different thread.

Cheers,

Richard

> Ticket for the addition of SWORD v2 to DSpace 1.8.  When building, you'll 
> need to make sure you update dspace.cfg to include the new config options.  
> Before 1.8 launch, we'll move these into modules/swordv2.cfg
> To test:
> 1) Apply patch
> 2) Unzip zip file to create new dspace-swordv2 module
> 3) Do the maven dance, deploy, visit /swordv2/servicedocument, enter DSpace 
> username and password, check a service document is shown
